The Lagos State Police Command has begun
investigation into the death of two newborn babies, whose corpses were
recovered from a canal beside a filling station in the Ajangbadi area of
the state.
It was learnt that the two boys, suspected to be twins, were left in the canal on Friday.
A crowd of residents, who were drawn to
the scene, was reported to have started taking snapshots of the babies
before the arrival of policemen from the Ilemba Hausa division.
After seeing the corpses, the policemen
were said to have called the attention of the State Environmental Health
Monitoring Unit, which removed and deposited them in a mortuary.
A police source wondered why the
residents did not act immediately they saw the babies, adding that the
twins were dead by the time the police arrived.
He said, “A resident alerted us to the
scene. By the time we got there, the babies were already dead. There was
a crowd of onlookers, some of them were taking snapshots. It is
probable that the babies were dropped by their mother for reasons best
known to her.
