They arrived and dug further, only to find a baby girl, miraculously still alive and crying, wrapped in fabric and buried in the soil.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kamba said he offered to care for the baby out of compassion and has since taken responsibility for her well-being.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was purely a humanitarian decision. My wife had just given birth, so breastfeeding the child has not been a challenge,\u201d he added, noting that a naming ceremony was scheduled for Wednesday, with preparations already underway.<\/p>\n<p>His wife also expressed joy at the unexpected addition to their family, saying she was committed to raising the baby as her own.<\/p>\n<p>During the visit, Hajiya Hammani commended the farmer for his swift action and assured that the team would brief the Wife of the Governor, Hajiya Zainab Nasare Idris, for further intervention.<\/p>\n<p>Also speaking, the Secretary of the Technical Working Group, Alhaji Nasiru Idris, lauded the farmer\u2019s courage and offered prayers for the child\u2019s continued survival. He confirmed that police had launched an investigation to identify those responsible for the incident.<\/p>\n<p>The delegation presented relief materials, including baby clothes, powdered milk, diapers, soap, a mattress, a mosquito net, and a baby bed, to support the family.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
