In the video sighted by Ghgossip, the baby was rescued from the muddy water by the community members. The circumstance surrounding the discovery of the yet-to-be-identified baby remains sketchy.

However, when the community members saved the baby from the muddy water, he/she was wearing diapers. The baby who probably cried for ‘breastmilk’ soaked in the muddy water was been bathed by the members of the community.
