Photos: Newborn baby found dead in a well

The body of a newborn baby was found in a well in the northern part of Nigeria and it is believed to have been dumped there by the mother.

The baby’s body was found floating in the well by a neighbour who then raised alarm.

Residents gathered around the well and fetched the baby out using a fetching bucket.

Photos from the scene were shared on Facebook by one Musa Adamu.

The baby’s mother is still unknown but efforts are being made to trace her.
