According to a medical practitioner who was present at the hospital when the baby was brought in, the boy had already lost so much blood and the knife was still stuck in his belly.
A Facebook user identified as Omeri Nwachi, also said he was present when the baby was brought it.
“A woman stabbed this baby, you can’t imagine that it was true and I actually snapped it myself. The baby is still alive and was being prepared for surgical procedure. Please pray for the survival of this baby”.
According to the Chief Medical Director of the Federal Teaching Hospital, Dr. Emeka Ogar, the baby has since had a successful surgery, and the knife has also been extracted.
