A newborn baby was yesterday rescued from where it was dumped in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti state capital

The baby, with the placenta still attached to its umbilical cord, was discovered in an uncompleted building around Goshen avenue, in Adebayo area of Ado Ekiti at about 10 pm on Monday.

A source living around the area said the baby which had no clothes on was dumped on the bare floor of the building.
