Nurses, one other arrested for stealing, selling newborn baby in Katsina

Those arrested are Grace Ejigu,43, of Shagari Low-Cost Housing estate, Katsina, and one Eucharia Onyema,45 years of Sabuwar Kasuwa Quarters, Katsina who was said to have bought the baby.

The spokesman of the Katsina State Police Command, SP Gambo Isah said the mother of the child Shamsiya is believed to have abandoned the baby after delivery at the hospital because it was conceived out of wedlock.

He said: “Nemesis caught up with them ( the three women)when they were arrested on their way from the hospital to their houses with the child through the help of a Keke NAPEP rider who suspected them of stealing the child.

“The driver of a commercial tricycle hired by the three women to convey them to their various houses from the hospital, instead, drove them to the Sabon gari police division after eavesdropping their conversation,” he said.
