An IDP mother in the west Region precisely Banekane, a neighborhood in Bangante, buried her baby alive who was rescued by the local population.

The Lady and her rescued Baby

The incident took place on Friday 8 to Saturday 9 April, around 2 a.m when the mum sneaked out of home to an uncultivated field to put to birth.

According to Mimimefo, After giving birth without any assistance, the lady in question proceeded to burying the newborn, before cleaning up herself and returning home.
All this, was without the knowledge of her husband she left at home sleeping with their other kids.

“For all of the following day, Saturday, the act went unnoticed. It was only until 48 hours later that a neighbor’s attention was drawn by cries of a wailing baby” a source said.
The kid was discovered with one of her hands and legs hanging out of the grave.
How she managed to survive however, remains a mystery.

The 33-year-old lady at first refused, but later confessed and narrated the entire act, following threats from her man.
The lady said she was ashamed to have another baby when the one she was carrying was barely a year old.
