LATEST UPDATE: Nurse, four others in police net over missing placenta

FROM BAMIGBOLA GBOLAGUNTE, AKURE

A m i d d l e – a g e d nurse working in a private hospital at Aba-Panu in Odig­bo Local Government Area of Ondo State and four other accomplices have been arrested by the Police for their al­leged involvement in the theft of a child’s placenta after delivery.

The accused nurse (name withheld) was said to have taken the delivery of the child when one Mrs. Sinatu Adeoye was rushed to the hospital while in la­bour. Sunday Sun reliably gathered that the child’s placenta got missing some hours after he was born in the hospital. Upon the re­quest by the father of the baby, none of the accused persons could provide any explanation for its sudden disappearance.

Mrs. Adeoye was said to have given birth to a male child, as confirmed by the nurse who took the deliv­ery. In a sharp reaction to the intrigues being played by the suspects, the father of the baby quickly mobi­lized his people to the hos­pital to demand for the pla­centa, but the workers on duty eventually ran away.

The Police Public Re­lations Officer (PPRO) for the state, Mr. Wole Ogodo, confirmed the ar­rest of the five accused persons, adding that ho­micide detectives from the state command had already commenced investigation into the matter with a view to unraveling those behind the ugly incident. He fur­ther disclosed that the case which was initially investi­gated by the Kajola Police Division had been trans­ferred to the Department of Criminal Investigation (DCI) of the state police command.
