Inhabitants
of PC CCAST quarter in Bambili on Saturday 17th of October were
bemused by the discovery of a day old baby abandoned dead in a ‘sac and motor’
bag in front of the Presbyterian Church, CCAST in Bambili. The baby, who from
all indication was abandoned alive for some Good Samaritan to rescue, might
have died some few hours before it was discovered.
When
the population alerted the administration of the area about the gruesome act
and they promptly arrived the crime scene accompanied by the mayor and the
authorities of Presbyterian Church. After an autopsy was conducted to ascertain
the cause of the death of the baby, it was finally laid to rest in a nearby
cemetery.
The
population that had gathered at the crime scene rather expressed indignation to
the fact that the Presbyterian Church authorities in whose premises the baby
was discovered rather boycotted the burial of the baby. According to them, they
ought to have come and prayed for the innocent soul of that baby before it was
buried. They Presbyterian Church authorities of PC CCAST Complex behaved
unchristian-like, they chastised.
Investigations
have been open up by the police and the hope is that the criminal should be
fished out, arrested and brought to justice for taking away the life of an
innocent baby. The police is said to have already started quarantining some
girls for questioning.
The
massive influx of students from all nooks of the republic into the area for
university studies has also increased the rate of prostitution, robbery and
other petty crimes in Bambili and its environs. With the economic hardship and
the desperation of many female students, some of them have taken prostitution
as a means to an end.
