This is the face of the woman who drugged a mother before allegedly stealing her baby in Akwa Ibom state.
We had earlier reported that the Akwa Ibom Police Command said it arrested one Peace Chukwuemeka, 30, for allegedly stealing a month-old baby from her mother.
The Commissioner of Police in the state, Murtala Mani, disclosed this while addressing newsmen on the activities of the command in Uyo on Tuesday.
Mani who spoke through the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, ASP Cordelia Nwawe, said the suspect lived in the same compound with the mother of the baby at Mbak Itam in Itu Local Government Area.
“In November, the ACID Section through the Family Unit recorded a great feat by bringing back a one month and some few days old baby to her mother in Akwa Ibom.
“The suspect, who has been married for some years without a baby, left Lagos State to Uyo, stayed in a compound in Mbak Itam with the intention to steal a baby from her neighbour.
“The Family Unit, through intelligence report, was able to rescue the baby and returned her to the mother,” Mani said.
