A man feigning to be mentally challenged has been reportedly arrested in Ogun State for allegedly being in possession of a dead newborn baby.

It was gathered that the man was almost lynched by an angry mob before he was handed over to the police.

According to an eyewitness, the suspect was caught with the remains of the baby at Oke-Ore along Owode Idi-Iroko road in Ogun state while pretending to be a mad man.

In photos making the rounds on the internet, the man was seen naked sitting with the baby in his hands.
