In Akamkpa, Cross River State, two nurses and a serving female soldier face arrest over the alleged theft and sale of a newborn baby.
The arrests followed a report by 19-year-old Justina Valentine Boniface from Aningeje village, according to security analyst Zagazola Makama.
Boniface, who gave birth to a boy on August 12, 2025, at the Primary Health Centre in Aningeje, where she attended antenatal care, alleged that nurses Ndifon Nelly Ekpu, 45, and Obi Mary Baken, 38, stole her baby while she slept.
The nurses claimed the child had died and was buried at the facility, but Boniface’s suspicions led her to alert the police.
Police investigations revealed the nurses sold the baby to W/Sgt. Aisha Yakubu, a Nigerian Army member, who was also apprehended. Authorities are now working to locate the baby and apprehend the final recipient of the stolen child.
