Police Rescue One Month-Old Baby From Woman in Desperate Need of Child
Police in Akwa Ibom State, yesterday, said it had recovered
a one-month-old stolen baby girl from a 30-year-old woman, identified
as Peace Chukwuemeka. The police added that it also rescued a
four-year-old boy from a young man, who had snatched him from his mother
at gunpoint.
The Commissioner of Police, Mr. Murtala Mani, who disclosed this to
newsmen yesterday at the Police Headquarters, Ikot-Akpan Abia, said
Peace Chukwuemeka was arrested by officers of its Family Unit following
useful information.
Mani said Chukwuemeka lives in the same compound with the parents of the
baby girl at Mbak Itam in Itu Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State.
According to him, “rescuing the one-month-old baby and bringing her
back to the mother is a great achievement. The suspect, who has been
married for some years now without a baby, left Lagos State for Uyo.
“Intelligence reports reveal that she has been staying in the same
compound with parents of the baby in Mbak Itam with the intention to
steal the baby-girl by drugging the mother.
“Unfortunately for her, the Family Unit of the command, through
intelligence reports, was able to rescue the baby and give her back to
the mother.”
Peace Chukwuemeka, who confessed to the crime, denied drugging the
mother before stealing the baby. She linked her action to desperation
due to her inability to bear children after 10 years of marriage. She
said: “I did not drug her mother; it was coincidental that she was
asleep and I seized that opportunity to take away the baby. I have been
married for 10 years now, so I was desperately in need of having a
baby.”
Asked where she was arrested with the baby, she said: “I took the baby
to my mother in the village, but she (my mother) refused to collect her
from me.
“So I came back to Akwa Ibom and the owner of the baby started asking me
of her baby. That was how I was arrested by the police.”
