A mother of seven has been nabbed for stealing a new born baby.
A staff nurse who runs a private
hospital at Arogun Village, in the Ewekoro Local Government Area of
Ogun State, Titilayo Adebola, has been arrested by men of the state
Police Command, for allegedly stealing a baby.
It
was learnt that Adebola, a mother of seven, allegedly took away the
baby from the mother after delivery, telling the woman who was yet to
recover from the pangs of childbirth, that the baby was still born, only
for her to keep the baby for herself.
But after
some days, the mother got information that the baby did not die but was
with the nurse who was passing it off as her child even when no one
noticed when she was pregnant.
The state Police
Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Muyiwa Adejobi, confirmed the arrest of
the nurse, adding that neighbours of the nurse and the people in the
community, who suddenly saw her with a baby without any pregnancy, became suspicious of her.
He said:
“The
nurse who took the delivery of the baby in the hospital on June 13,
2015, had deceived the mother that she had a stillbirth.
She was arrested when the mother got reliable information about the baby and immediately informed the police.
The
residents of the community also noticed that the suspect, who was never
pregnant, suddenly started nursing a baby that she could not breast
feed. They informed the mother who later reported the case to the police
in Ewekoro on August 7, 2015.
In the
course of police investigation, it was revealed that the suspect, a
mother of seven, had issues with her initial marriage and got married to
another rich man, who she wanted to have a baby for.
The suspect has given a credible statement that will assist the police. The matter will soon be charged to court.”
