In a country where arbitrary acts reign at will in some of our hospitals, it is difficult to blame the angry mob that accosted an auxiliary nurse who was carrying a newborn baby in Anambra, demanding explanation on how she came about the baby.
In a country where arbitrary acts reign at will in some of our hospitals, it is difficult to blame the angry mob that accosted an auxiliary nurse who was carrying a newborn baby in the Upper Uweka area of Onitsha, the Anambra State capital, demanding explanation on how she came about the baby.
Unfortunately, it was the police officers who eventually mismanaged the situation. Rather than exercise good discretion by allowing the baby to be taken to the hospital straight in view of the emergency nature of its case, they ordered the nurse and the baby’s father to follow them to the police station.
When they got there, only the baby was taken inside and later returned to them on the pretext that they had challenges getting across to their doctor. One thing then led to the other until they got to the police station where the police officers and two of her colleagues had insisted they should first go to.
Miss Okafor had to cry, first for herself, because she knew the possible consequences of angry youths descending ferociously on a suspected baby thief. Now all that effort and even the indignities she suffered while the odyssey lasted have ended in vain.
