The Jigawa State Police Command has arrested a 25-year-old nursing officer and a 20-year-old woman over the alleged abduction of a one-and-a-half-year-old baby boy from the paediatric ward of Babura General Hospital. The child was later rescued from the female suspect.
The development was confirmed to The PUNCH in a telephone interview on Thursday by the state police public relations officer, SP Shi’isu Adam.
He said the arrests followed a distress call received from the hospital concerning the disappearance of the child.
According to Adam, police operatives immediately swung into action after receiving the report and commenced intelligence-led investigations aimed at locating the missing child and apprehending those responsible for the alleged abduction.
