On June 14, 2023, an 18-year-old lady was reportedly detained as she prepared to take her newborn child to the restroom in Wamba Kebele in the Bambasi neighbourhood of the Asosa zone.
The mother gave birth and used the loo on June 14, 2023, around 6 am, according to Deputy Commander Getache Terfe of the Bambasi District Police Office’s Public Relations Section. She was casher in a pool house where she was living around .
Authorities apparently collaborated with other parties to imprison Zehara Abebe, a young woman, after hearing a baby scream in the restroom.
The child who was abandoned was reportedly a youngster who received first aid at a nearby hospital before being transported to Asosa Hospital for more sophisticated treatment.
