Three nurses have been arrested in a private hospital in Asaba by the Delta State Police command.
It was reported that the hospital confirmed the death of a newborn baby brought on Sunday, by the parents for treatment.
The child was brought back the next day by the family because the child’s ear, eyes, and nose had allegedly been removed.
A source at the hospital said, “The parents brought the child to the hospital on Sunday evening. Immediately, our children’s doctor (pediatrician) looked at the child and confirmed him dead after all efforts to bring the newborn back to life failed.

“The hospital discharged them and both the father and mother carried the child away. Surprisingly, on Monday morning, the parents brought the baby, accusing the hospital of removing the baby’s eyes, nose and ears. They came with the police who arrested some nurses at the hospital.”
DSP Bright Edafe, the state Police Public Relations Officer, confirmed the arrest of the medical workers.
“It is true, but I have not got the details of the incident. We got information that the child was delivered to another hospital, but was referred to the hospital where he died. The corpse has been deposited in a mortuary, so the investigation is ongoing.”, he said.
