A young mentally challenged woman caused a stir in Aba, Abia State at the week�end when she gave birth to a set of female twins on a heap of refuse and stoned one to death be�fore the police were in�vited.
According to Daily Sun, the mad woman (in her mid twenties) delivered in the wee hours of Saturday – she
gave birth to two girls without any as�sistance on top of a heap of garbage close to an AGIP filling station at Alaoji, along the Ikot Ekpene Road, near Aba.

After giving birth to the babies, the insane woman fell asleep and when one of the babies started crying, she woke up used a stone she found within the place to hit her and the child died before she could be rescued.

Sensing that the life of the second baby could also be in danger, residents of the area alerted the police and the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) for Ogbor Hill Division, Mrs. Helen Nze, was said to have led a team of policemen to the refuse dump. The police rushed the baby that was still alive to a private hospital, where she was cleaned and given medication, and deposited the dead one in a mortuary.
