"At about 3am this morning Friday morning 28th April 2023 while on routine patrol, I discovered a new born baby which is less than 6 hours old. As at the point of discovery the baby was still wrapped with clothes and placenta''

"I rescued the child and immediately called a female nurse for urgent medical attention to be given to the baby. Upon inspection by the nurse, the baby was discovered to be a female .

Comrade Ihunwo said he was accompanied by a Human Rights Activist Prince Wiro to formally report the incident at  Nkpolu Police station .

He appealed to the Rivers State Government to prevail on the contractors in charge of Ikwerre road street lights to ensure the lights are always on at night to avert incidents like this.

In the meantime, Coordinator of Centre for Basic Rights Protection and Accountability Campaign, Prince Wiro who condemned the action of the unknown mother who left the new born baby at the mercy of death described the act as inhumane, callous and barbaric.

The Rights Activist advised young females who think they cannot take care  of a child after giving birth to seek help by approaching  relevant Government Ministry in charge of children welfare rather than throwing away the baby.
