The suspect , Juliana James, a native of Plateau State , wept profusely as she was paraded at the command’s headquarters in Bauchi, the capital , on Friday .

The mother of six said the current economic hardship in the country was responsible for her action as keeping the baby would have brought additional burden on them .

She said , “Things are hard . My husband has no job . He had an accident three months ago and it affected his manhood. He is still in the hospital receiving treatment .
“I delivered at home and threw the baby in the toilet because I don ’t know how we are going to take care of it. I didn ’ t tell my husband. ”
