Newborn Baby Girl Rescued by Farmer in Kebbi State After Being Buried Alive

A newborn baby girl has been miraculously rescued by a farmer in the Kamba Dandi Local Government Area of Kebbi State.

The farmer, identified as Malam Kabiru Kamba, shared that the incident occurred on June 27th while he was working on his farm. He noticed an unusual mound of soil that caught his attention. Sensing something strange, he flagged down a group of motorcyclists passing by and asked for their help to dig.

As they dug deeper, Malam Kabiru said they uncovered a piece of cloth buried in the soil, which immediately raised alarm. Realizing something was seriously wrong, he quickly contacted the police.

He said: “Out of curiosity, I flagged down some motorcyclists to help dig.

“While digging the ridge, we found a wrapper buried in the soil, which raised my suspicion.

“I immediately informed the police at a nearby checkpoint, who came and dug further, only to discover a baby girl, miraculously alive and crying, shrouded in a piece of textile,” 

“In such situations, it is only normal to help.

“I was moved to care for her and requested her custody.

“The baby was handed over to me by the Dandi local government council, pending conclusion of police investigations.

“I didn’t expect anything in return; it’s simply a humanitarian act, and coincidentally, my wife had just given birth; so breastfeeding the baby has not been a challenge.

“In fact, we have planned her naming ceremony for Wednesday, and I have already bought a ram and other essential requisites for the event.

“By Allah’s will, she will be named then,” 

Speaking about the incident, his wife on her part said: “I felt perfectly fine and happy when my husband told me. I will take care of her just the way I will do to my own”
