The residents of Limbangan Village, Wanareja District, Cilacap Regency, were shocked by the discovery of a baby on the terrace of Musala Nurul Anwar, Tuesday, December 27, 2022, at around 02.07 WIB. It is known that the baby is male, aged 3 days, with a height of about 53 cm.

Cilacap Police Chief AKBP Eko Widiantoro, through the Head of Public Relations of the Cilacap Police, Iptu Gatot Tri Hartanto, confirmed the discovery of the baby. He explained that the baby was found in a cardboard box at Teras Mushola.

Gatot said that until now the baby was being treated at the family home of Siti Chatijah's mother.

"Currently we are still investigating who the perpetrators had the heart to throw the baby around the mosque," said Gatot

Meanwhile, the resident who first found the baby, Rohaedi, told that he found the baby when he was about to perform the tahajud prayer at the Nurul Anwar prayer room.

Arriving near the prayer room, Rohaedi heard a baby cry. Hearing the voice, Rohaedi finally called Siti Chatijah to check the voice.

"When I was looking for it, it turned out that it was true that a baby boy was lying in a cardboard box on the terrace of the prayer room with baby equipment left in the form of a sarong along with the writing on the baby's date of birth, namely December 24, 2022," said Rohaedi.
