Nurse, four others in police net over missing placenta A middle aged nurse working in a private hospital at Aba-Panu in Odigbo Local Government Area of Ondo State and four other accomplices have been arrested by the Police for their alleged involvement in the theft of a child’s placenta after delivery. The accused nurse (name withheld) was said to have taken the delivery of the child when one Mrs. Sinatu Adeoye was rushed to the hospital while in labour. Sunday Sun reliably gathered that the child’s placenta got missing some hours after he was born in the hospital. Upon the request by the father of the baby, none of the accused persons could provide any explanation for its sudden disappearance. Mrs. Adeoye was said to have given birth to a male child, as confirmed by the nurse who took the delivery. In a sharp reaction to the intrigues being played by the suspects, the father of the baby quickly mobilized his people to the hospital to demand for the placenta, but the workers on duty eventually ran away. The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) for the state, Mr. Wole Ogodo, confirmed the arrest of the five accused persons, adding that homicide detectives from the state command had already commenced investigation into the matter with a view to unraveling those behind the ugly incident. He further disclosed that the case which was initially investigated by the Kajola Police Division had been transferred to the Department of Criminal Investigation (DCI) of the state police command.
