Unknown Gunmen snatch four newborns from Anambra hospital

 

Gunmen in the early hours of yesterday stormed a hospital in Aguata council area of Anambra State, snatching  away four newborns.

Governor Chukwuma Soludo hails from the council.

The assailants also made away with bloodstained wrappers and clothes of women who just put to bed.

As a result, the residents have raised the alarm that the incident could be for ritual purposes.

A source, who spoke with The Nation, said the gunmen did not kill anyone or burn any police station this time around, but came to take away babies.

“They didn’t shoot as usual, but they drove to the hospital early morning, took the newly born babies and bloodstained clothes and drove off.

“We were told that they threatened to kill anybody who opened his or her mouth in that hospital.  Everybody is living in fear now in Anambra,” the source said.
