“Nilifanya scanning mara tatu kayole i, kayole ii pia wakaniambia ni msichana na kijana,”
Hospital Contradictions
This explanation raised suspicions, leading her to call her relatives to the hospital as she felt something was amiss.
What raised more questions was the hospital’s record of the birth.
According to the family’s lawyer, Alfred Gichana, the records showed inconsistencies, such as stating that the cesarean was performed at 12 pm, while Nyaboke insisted it was at 11 am.
“From the records it is written and rubbed that she delivered at 12 which brings a lot of contradictions,” he said.
“We will preserve the body at the morgue till we do a DNA test to ascertain the truth,”
“In case there is any mischief we are ready to move to court,”
These contradictions compelled the family to request a DNA test for the deceased baby to determine if the child was indeed Nyaboke’s.
The local Member of County Assembly, Collins Ogenga, has vowed to follow up on the case to ensure justice is served.
Furthermore, the county government of Nairobi has been urged to investigate allegations of child theft within the hospital.
