Police officers from Manga Sub-County in Nyamira County are hunting down a woman who allegedly aborted and dumped an infant at the roadside in Ogango area along the Nyamira - Kisii road.
According to Ogango chief Evans Nyang'au, passersby discovered the infant wrapped using a leso dumped by the roadside on Friday evening and raised alarm.
"Police officers from Sengera Manga arrived at the scene and found the infant. The dead infant was taken to Nyamira hospital morgue. The woman is believed to have proceeded with the journey after dumping the infant," said Nyang'au.
The chief assured that police officers are doing everything possible to nab the woman.
He warned that any woman found conducting abortion will not be spared by the law.
Nyamira County Commissioner Amos Mariba confirmed the incident on Saturday and appealed to members of the public to cooperate with police officers to bring the woman into the book.
"The woman once arrested will be arraigned to serve as an example to other women fond of conducting abortion. I urge women not to kill innocent creatures since no one forced them to conceive," Mariba said.
