However, it is yet clear whether the mother was the one who ignited the fire or it came from ashes poured into the bin by other people, but the fire was seen several minutes after she had dropped the carton and left, according to residents of the area.
DailyPost learnt frome a source that some passers-by who heard the deafening cry of the baby rushed to the dump site only to discover that the baby had been badly burnt.
The baby, however died before help could get to him.
A resident who confirmed sighting the lady when she dropped the carton said she must have come from another town in Jos just to conceal her identity while carrying out the criminal act.
He lamented that the lady chose to dump the baby in a refuse cart instead of where he can be picked up for proper care.
