A set of newborn twins, a boy and a girl, were abandoned at a bushy refuse disposal slope known as Wangbeen Jor in Mbaaji, Ningev Council Ward, Vandeikya Local Government Area of Benue State. The babies were rescued by the Local Government Task Force during a sanitation routine on Saturday, according to a Facebook post by TIVDOO citing Zega’Orkwande Sughnen Yaaya.
