Bimbilla police bust two for ‘stealing’ 4-day-old baby
Suspect Nanyim Nakwaja, 42, and Samira, 21,
natives of Kunkuna, a suburb of Bimbilla, have
been arrested by the Nanumba District Police for
allegedly stealing a four-day-old baby girl from
the Bimbilla Government Hospital.

The four days baby boy was on Friday, August,
2016 declared missing by the Nanumba District
Police after its mother woke up the dawn of Friday
to breastfeed him but did not find him.

Almost twenty four hours after its bizarre
disappearance, the baby was found with Samira at
her residence by some community members who acted
on an announcement to assist the police to find
the baby.

According to our sources, the baby boy was born
with some deformity which is regarded as a
sacrilege in the tradition. Thus, Samira was
allegedly contacted to sacrifice the boy per
customs.

Nanyim Nakwaja, 42, was supposed to deliver the
baby boy to Samira for the required sacrifice but
luck run out on the duo and have since been
arrested.

The Bimbila Police Commander DSP Benjamin Aniah
confirmed the case to TV3 but added his outfit is
yet to establish a connection between the parents
of the baby and the suspect.
