The Nasarawa police command says three persons have been arrested over an alleged baby theft at a hospital in the state.
Umar Nadada, the police commissioner in Nasarawa, confirmed the incident while briefing journalists in Lafia, the state capital.
According to NAN, Nadada said the case was reported at the A-division police station by one Suleiman Abdullahi, the husband to the mother of the stolen baby, on Tuesday.
The police commissioner quoted Abdullahi as saying that the baby was stolen shortly after his wife was delivered through cesarean section (CS) at the hospital.
According to Nadada, a strange woman introduced to Abdullahi’s wife as a caregiver was the suspect.
The commissioner said some workers at the hospital have been summoned for questioning while three suspects have been arrested.
He added that the management of the hospital has been assisting the police in the investigation.
