The remains of the male and female foetuses, believed to be about five months old, were found on Wednesday behind the residence of a commercial driver, Enman Danladi, sparking grief and condemnation across the community.
Eyewitnesses said the discovery was made by a farmer who noticed a dog sniffing a polythene bag with flies hovering around it at the dump.
Recounting the incident, Danladi said the farmer alerted him after making the discovery.
“I had just returned from work when the man knocked on my door and asked me to follow him to the refuse dump behind my house,” he said.
“He told me he had been chasing away a dog that was sniffing a polythene bag. When he eventually opened it, he discovered the aborted twins and quickly came to inform me.”
Danladi said he immediately mobilised neighbours to the scene, and the remains were later buried at the site.
The incident drew emotional reactions from residents, with men condemning the act and invoking curses on those responsible, while women wept openly.
A resident, Joshua Lamba, described the incident as inhumane and alien to the community’s values.
“Where is our humanity? We condemn this atrocity because our people are not known for such acts. No one has the right to take another life, no matter the circumstance,” he said.
Another resident, Philip Jatau, also expressed shock, describing the development as unbelievable.
“It is hard to imagine that anyone could do this. One woman, who has been married for years without a child, broke down in tears,” he added.
Residents have called for thorough investigations to identify those responsible and prevent a recurrence.
When contacted on Thursday, the police command could not be reached to confirm the discovery.
