An unknown woman has dumped her newborn baby along a road with a handwritten note begging whoever finds the child to take care of her and name her “Barira”
The baby girl was found at about 1:20 AM on Friday, February 12 inside a carton at Unguwar Amare, an outskirt of Daura Town in Katsina State.
The woman expressed her regret over her action, claiming that she was deceived by an unnamed man who impregnated her and dumped her after he promised to marry her.
According to one Yawale Musa Kallah Daura, the baby was taken to the police station by the good samaritans who found her and later took her to the hospital.
The note reads: “ASSALAMU ALAIKWANNAI WANNAN BAIWAR ALLAH DA NA AJE WANNAN JARIRIYA BA DAN SAN RAINA BA ?ADDARA CE, WANI YA YAUDARE NI YA CE ZAI AURBARARAA MIN WANNAN CIKIN YA GUDU YA BARI NA HAIFETA SHI NE NA KAWO TA NA AJIYE TA ALLAH YA HA?A TA DA HANNU NA GARI AMIN, SUNANTA BARIRA ALLAH YA SHIRYI YAN BAYA KUMA ALLAH YA RAYA MANA ITA AMI”
