“Meanwhile, all efforts so far made to locate the parents or relatives of the baby for identification and claim have proved abortive. The police have handed over the baby to the Director of the Welfare Department, Idemili North Local Government Area, for safe custody. Anyone who can identify or assist the police in reuniting the baby with its family is hereby enjoined to come forward.”
