Python Swallows Baby In Okada: Edo State A python, yesterday, swallowed a baby at Okada, Edo State.

The baby was reportedly left on a mat outside, while the mother went inside. A witness, who claimed to have arrived the scene as the snake was in the process of swallowing the baby, raised an alarm. People rushed to the scene and killed the snake, but were too late to save the baby. A source said; In as much as this is a strange unfortunate incident, we shouldn't turn a blind eye to the irresponsible acts of the parents who left a 6 months old baby alone on the mat outside.
