It is said that the baby was found lying around the environs by the night guard on duty as he was up and about doing his usual night check up around the facility.
Omulele said that the 18 year old left a note next to the infant where she was reaching out to any well wishers urging them to take care of the her three months son.
They made an effort of tracing the mother to be taken for question and fortunately found her in Ebusikhale Sub location.
"We examined the baby and discovered he is still healthy. We traced the mother to Ebusikhale Sub location in Luanda,"Salome Omulele said.
Speaking to citizen digital,the mother who is a form two dropout said that she had pulled such a move for the reason that she had conceived the child with her cousin.
