Kwara State Police Command has arrested five health workers over alleged mysterious disappearance of umbilical cord and placenta of a newly born baby in Oke-Ero local government area.

It was gathered that the incident happened at the cottage hospital in Iloffa last Sunday.

The suspects, Daily Trust learnt, who are currently being detained in Ilorin after interrogation on Thursday include one Dr Ajibola, nurses Rukayat Adeloye, Aishat Awolusi, Peace Alabi and Toyin Adewunmi, a ward attendant.

Sources said it took efforts from elders of Odo-Owa community to prevent the restive youths from torching the hospital over the incident.

Speaking on the issue on Friday, the traumatised mother of the baby who teaches English language in Orofa High School,Odo-Owa, Mrs C.B Williams, said she raised the alarm after the doctor and nurses who delivered the baby failed to produce the placenta and umbilical cord.

“Some of their staff started telling me they’re sorry that there was a mistake. The attendant said she had thrown the placenta inside a pit but they could not find it suggesting a dog might have eaten it.

“That was When I flared up with some of my church who were also present that it’s not possible that they just have to present the placenta”.

Mrs Williams’ father, Mr Rufus Sanya, said he suspected foul play.

“How could an umbilical cord and a placenta of a new baby be missing when we all know the implication?

“I urge the police to do a thorough investigation and unravel the mystery behind this disappearance.That is only when justice would be said to have been served and we would be at peace with ourselves,”he said.

ed on Friday, spokeswoman of police command, Ejire-Adeyemi Toun, confirmed the incident, adding that operatives have commenced a discreet investigation into the matter.

Very unprofessional.

It is finished

Imagine the nonsense.. the guts to lay hands on a medical practitioner in this country en.. I'm disappointed

Of what significance is it,?

This is wrong in all ramifications,they will definitely confess if police do their thorough investigation.

SW can never get tired of mysticism and rituals.



Tueh!

If the police is not compromised, they will confess in less than an hour.

Pls what’s the implication? Can any yoruba person here tell me the implication? I’m lost..

Na spiritual nonsense. Prosecuted for what exactly? Highest any sane court will do is ask them to pay a fine. Mistakes happens but to think they wanted to burn down the hospital servicing their community. Later now they will be crying they don't have access to healthcare.

What? Is that possible?

FreeStuffsNG:
Very unprofessional.

Have you noticed that Ilorin looked like a place where trouble might brew in future. You can recall infringement of free practice of traditional religion last year for the Isese Traditional Worshippers & Muslim debacle that involves their king directly.
Fewcdays ago, something was done that appeared as if they are against Christians. See here: https://nairaland.macsoftware.info/8094622/emir-ilorin-allegedly-sends-muslim/2#up
No lie, don't you smell trouble in that place?
Lastly, shey it make sense make religious matter dey set in for Nigeria when constitution approves anybody can do their own?

The placenta is useless to an extent.

However knowing our belief system here they should have given it to the mother on delivery to prevent this kind problem that's why I suspect them.

Don't they know how we react to such

Fear Kwara people.

Lol

I wonder how people survive in that kind of religiously evil state..

Gbege

Placenta kwa.
What nonsense is this?

It is still useless.

na these Yahoo things now, they can use it for money ritual and render the child's life useless. Tho we may not believe in spirituality but Bible also confirmed it, we're militating not against flesh and blood
