The baby was found by 20-year-old farmer Julius Tottimeh, who was en route to his farm when he heard the infant's cries emanating from off the main path. Upon following the sound, Tottimeh located the baby beneath a tree, wrapped securely in a cloth. Out of concern for the child's welfare, Tottimeh promptly picked up the infant and transported her to the Ada East District Hospital for assessment and care. The police were subsequently notified at approximately 10:00 a.m., with the incident occurring around 9:45 a.m., roughly 15 minutes prior to the hospital report.

Authorities have initiated an investigation to ascertain the sequence of events and identify the child's biological parents or guardians.",
