The two months old baby was later taken to the Koakoyima police post for investigation.
When contacted the line manager at the Family Support Unit of the aforementioned police post, Conteh Idriss confirmed the information to be true, but said after questioning he realized that the mother in question left the baby in the bush because the father of the baby failed to take up responsibility for her and her child.
