Homicide detectives of the State Criminal Investigations Department, Panti, Yaba, Lagos have arrested two nurses in connection with the death of a day-old-baby boy.
The nurses, Lillian Ajonuma and Anieke, work at Christ the King Catholic Church Primary Health Clinic, situated at 60, Igbehinadun Street, off Shasha Road, Akowonjo, Lagos State.
It was in the health facility that the baby fell out of his crib, which is believed to be faulty and due for change.
The incident, which happened on March 9, 2013, had left the parents of the baby, who are members of the Christ the King Catholic Church, at loggerheads with the church.
The incident occurred just hours after delivery by the baby’s mother, Mrs. Sidian Mcwhittingtion.
The nurses were accused of placing the day-old baby in a cot in the hospital, which allegedly had no railings.
And before anyone knew what was happening, the baby had fallen out, hitting the floor.
The baby was rushed to another hospital, but died on the way to the hospital.
It was also gathered that the mother registered in their church clinic and had been attending ante-natal.
But before her husband, Godsent, got her to the hospital, she had delivered in the car.
The happy husband still decided to take mother and baby to the clinic for medical checkup.
It was while they were at the hospital for the check up that the incident occurred.
The late baby would have been the couple’s second child.
