Man Arrested For Stealing His Neighbor's Baby Placenta


Joshua Abraham, a 43-year- old man has been nabbed by policemen in Ogun State for allegedly stealing his
neighbour’s baby placenta. The suspect had allegedly gone to the hospital, where the baby was delivered, claiming to be the father and collecting the placenta from the nurse.

Trouble however started when the baby’s grandmother, Raliha Zakara, came, requesting for the placenta, and was subsequently told that Abraham had taken it away.

Releasing a statement on Thursday, Abimbola Oyeyemi, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, explained that the suspect was arrested following a report by Raliha at the Ibafo Police Station.

Here's what he said;
“The suspect, who is a neighbour to Raliha, came to the hospital, where Raliha’s daughter was delivered of the baby, and pretended to be the father of the newborn.

“He demanded the placenta from the nurse on duty and it was given to him.

“On getting the placenta, he took it away on the pretext that he was going to bury it.

“But when the grandmother got to the hospital and was informed that the suspect had taken away the placenta, she quickly confronted him, but he told the grandmother that he had buried the placenta.

“When the grandmother insisted that she should be taken to where he buried it, it was discovered that he had hidden the placenta but buried a dead rat.
