One Mrs Laruba Drisu, whose baby was stolen shortly after delivery at Peniel Maternity and Clinic, popularly known as (Mummy’s hospital) in Anyigba, Dekina Local Government Area of Kogi State, has accused the nurse on duty of stealing her child.

Mrs Drisu, who gave the name of the nurse as, Rebecca Amina Sanni, during an interview with DAILY POST, said she masterminded the sudden disappearance of her baby, pointing out that the suspected thief was a female dressed in hijab.

Reports said the incident happened on Sunday, May 28, 2018 and the child is yet to be found.

The mother of four, who hails from Okafaga (II) in Ofu Local Government Area of the State, vowed not to give up until her missing daughter is found.

The aggrieved mother alleged that the body language of the suspected nurse showed that Miss Rebecca knew the woman that stole her baby from the maternity.

Mrs Drisu said,

“On Sunday, I was caught up with labour at about 7am. Me and my husband went to the hospital and it was confirmed that it was time for me to give birth. When my husband went home to bring some of our belonging needed for my delivery, I have already given birth.

“When I deliver, it was Mummys (proprietress of the maternity) cloth that was used to wrap my baby. When my husband came back with his mother to the hospital, he was very happy to see our newborn baby.

“After delivery, I noticed that I started bleeding. So mummy checked me and gave me injection. Later, she put drip on my body before the bleeding subsided. When the bleeding subsided, mummy told the nurse ( Rebecca) on duty that it was because the baby was big that was the reason for my bleeding.

“So mummy told the nurse to look after me and the baby so that she could go and have her bath since all her body was soaked with blood. When mummy left the room, she did not carry bucket . When mummy left there, the nurse checked me as instructed.

“In the process of checking me, she told me that I should turn back so that she could clean the blood. When I turned back, the nurse went inside the room where my baby was lying down. My room is different from my baby’s room. When I turned back, I saw a woman entering inside the room were my baby was kept, wearing black Hijab and the nurse was inside the room with the baby.

“Since I wasn’t having much strength after losing so much blood, I thought it was a woman who wanted to speak with the nurse when she was inside. Few minutes later, I heard my daughter was nowhere to be found. When we discovered that the baby was missing, my mother in-law who the nurse sent on an errant alongside my husband asked her about my baby but she could not give any explanation.”

The state’s police command spokesman, Asp William Aya, who confirmed the incident, said the case has been transferred to the force headquarter.

He said the prime suspect Rebecca Amina Sanni and the proprietress are currently in police custody.
