Pigs Eat Newborn Twin Babies In Nasarawa

It’s a shocking revelation that pigs have been alleged to have eaten up a set of abandoned newborn twin babies in the Masaka area of Nasarawa State.

Residents of Jeun Makadi community were shocked on Tuesday when they saw the corpses of newborn twin babies.

According to information gathered, the babies were suspected to have been dumped on Monday at a dump in the area, before wandering pigs feasted on them.

While one of the babies was sighted injured in the face, residents claimed the other corpse had been carried away by the pigs.

Community leaders had also reported the incident to policemen from the Masaka division, who visited the dump.

A resident, who spoke on condition of
anonymity, said people staying close to the dump confirmed that the babies were brought alive to the spot.

He said: “We believe that the babies were left at the dump on Monday evening or Tuesday morning. When we got to the dump, pigs had already eaten one of the babies and escaped with the corpse. Some people staying close to the dump told us that there were indications that the kids were alive when they were abandoned.”

“There has been pandemonium in our area.
People have been trooping to the dump when they get the information that newborn twins were abandoned there. Residents, who were at the scene of the incident, rained curses on the person that dumped the babies. They could have taken the babies to an orphanage or to a government’s shelter, not at our dump to be eaten up by pigs.”

A youth in the community, Garba Julius,
said the community and the police were
investigating the incident to unravel the
culprits.

The Police Public Relations Officer , Nasarawa State Police Command , DSP John Kennedy, however, said the command had yet to receive information on the incident.

He said: “The command has not been informed of the incident that happened at Jeun Madaki in the Masaka Police Station bus stop area of Nasarawa State.”
