His official line was not reachable and he had not also responded to a text sent to him.
In 2019, a newborn baby was rescued by roadside in Minna by one Hajiya Fatima.
According to eyewitnesses, a woman on motorcycle hurriedly dumped the baby by the road side and took off immediately.
It was learnt that the children who saw the woman informed their parents of the development.
A woman identified as Hajiya Fatima Adamu picked up the baby and took her to the police station from where she was taken to Child’s Right Agency.
The police officer Hassana Usman who took the baby to the Child Rights Agency said the child was not given a post-birth bath before she was dumped.
