Residents of Special Site in Pankshin Local Government Area of Plateau State have expressed outrage over the discovery of aborted twins dumped in a polythene bag at a refuse site.
The remains of the male and female foetuses, believed to be about five months old, were found on Wednesday behind the residence of a commercial driver, Enman Danladi, sparking grief and condemnation across the community.
Eyewitnesses said the discovery was made by a farmer who noticed a dog sniffing a polythene bag with flies hovering around it at the dump.
Recounting the incident, Danladi said the farmer alerted him after making the discovery.
“I had just returned from work when the man knocked on my door and asked me to follow him to the refuse dump behind my house,” he said.
“He told me he had been chasing away a dog that was sniffing a polythene bag. When he eventually opened it, he discovered the aborted twins and quickly came to inform me.”
Danladi said he immediately mobilised neighbours to the scene, and the remains were later buried at the site.
