In Kaduna, a stolen newborn has been recovered and the suspect arrested, according to sources. The baby was taken from a house in Sabon Gari New Extension, Kaduna South Local Government Area. The infant's mother, Amina, reported the theft on Monday evening. She said residents became suspicious after a woman claimed to have given birth but could not breastfeed the newborn, who was observed crying.
Amina's elder sister's daughter helped identify the baby, leading to its recovery. A witness, Malam Garba, said residents initially believed the woman had delivered three days earlier. She had initially claimed the baby was in the hospital, but later said the baby had died before admitting it was her stolen newborn. The suspect, a 30-year-old man, was arrested and is currently undergoing interrogation.
