A woman is seeking justice claiming that her newborn baby was stolen after birth at Kiambu District Hospital.
Allegedly, she was told that the infant died.
Mary Wanjiku, the 32-year-old mother speaking on Monday after she recorded a statement at Kiambu police station said she was admitted at the hospital on Saturday at around 8pm during labour. She explained that at around midnight she delivered a healthy baby boy.
However, she said that when the nurses took the baby into the other rooms, she has not seen her baby again. She said that after she was taken back to the ward, she asked to breastfeed her baby but she was given a rude answer by one of the nurses that she had a still-birth.
"I saw my baby and I even heard him cry. He was very okay and the answer I have been given is totally opposite of what I know. My child has been stolen or sold somewhere and I am calling on relevant authorities to help me get my child back," said Wanjiku.
Martin King'atua, the husband, expressed his disappointment saying that the hospital management had failed to give them any report despite them trying to get it.
Kiambu police boss Stephen Ng'etich said that the matter was now under investigations. He said that two nurses have already recorded a statement regarding the issue.
"Investigations have been launched into the matter. This is the second case this year and we are going to get to the root of this matter," said the OCPD.
The hospital management declined to speak to journalists despite endless efforts to get a statement from them.
