The Kebbi State Police Command has apprehended a 19-year-old woman, Khadija Ibrahim, in connection with the alleged abduction of a newborn baby in Zuru area, Kebbi State. According to a police statement, the suspect had allegedly pretended to assist Fatima Muhammad, who had recently given birth, in fetching hot water for the baby.
However, she allegedly fled with the newborn infant. The police officer stated that the accused had reportedly been under significant emotional and social stress due to not having a child of her own, as some of her peers had already had children. The suspect allegedly deceived her husband for nine months, leading him to believe she was pregnant, before taking the baby and presenting it to her husband as their own child.
The suspect was arrested after a prolonged investigation, and the recovered baby was safely returned to its biological mother. The arrested woman is currently in police custody and is expected to be charged in court upon the completion of the investigation, as per the applicable legal procedures.
