The suspect, who is also a nurse, allegedly abducted the baby on June 13, and was subsequently arrested by the police attached to Ewekoro Division of the state command on Friday.
The
Police Public Relations Officer in Ogun State, Muyiwa Adejobi, confirmed the
arrest to reporters on Sunday in Abeokuta, saying the nurse who took delivery
of the baby in the hospital on June 13 had lied and deceived the mother that
she had a still birth.
He
explained further that sympathizers in the community noticed that the suspect,
who was never pregnant, suddenly started nursing a baby.
“The
police operatives handled the matter professionally as they rescued the baby
alive and unhurt. The suspect has given credible statement that will assist the
police. The woman will soon be charged to court,” the police spokesman said.
He
said the commissioner of police, Abdulmajid Ali, has directed that the matter
be properly investigated in order to get useful information that will help in
the prosecution of the case.
He
also charged owners of hospitals or maternity homes in the state to operate
within legal framework and always employ credible and trusted nurses and staff
that respect the ethics of their professions and laws of the land.
