A newborn baby boy with a placenta was found dead in the wee hours of Saturday, 5 November, 2022, along the Atimbo road by Express Africana, few meters away from Atimbo Navy Barrack.
According to eyewitnesses, the lifeless baby was dumped on a heap of refuse in Calabar, the Cross River State capital.
It was gathered that four men working for Madox Contraction, a contractor of the State Ministry of Environment, buried the baby in a shallow grave by the gutter.
According to Cross River Watch, the men said their bosses from the Ministry of Environment had given them the go-ahead to bury the infant, adding that they have been doing so on several occasions.
