It was revealed that after the mother put her baby beneath the truck, she stood to one side and prevented people from carrying the baby while also persuading the driver of the truck to start the engine.

According to the Kaduna State Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Hafsat Muhammed, the baby was rescued from Aisha.

Muhammed said a good Samaritan who was passing by and saw the baby quickly drew the attention of the commissioner to the scene.

When queried, Aisha said, she could not explain how she found herself in Kaduna.

She hinted that it was the crisis in her state, Taraba, that scattered her family members without a trace of any of them, more than a year ago.

“One of my suitors in Kasuwan Baici here in Kaduna, got me pregnant but he denied the pregnancy and refused to take care of me and the baby. So, I want to kill the baby to save myself from shame”, she said.

Speaking with newsmen, the commissioner said she has directed social department in her ministry to take Aisha to the hospital for medical examination and treatment before repatriating her and her child to Taraba State.
