MAN ARRESTED FOR ASKING FOR THE RELEASED OF A WOMANS MISSING BABY:- CAMEROON

By -

In Douala the economic capital of Cameroon a man has been arrested for marching with a placard asking for the release of a woman's stolen baby and placenta. 

This action comes after the missing baby scandal where  a woman by name Esther Bell Aurelie baby was stolen at the Laquintinie hospital in Douala. Madam Esther says she was eight months pregnant and went in to labour and was rushed to the hospital and after she gave birth , she has not seen her baby and the midwives who assisted her during delivery told her the baby passed away. So she asked the nurses to show her the dead baby as they claimed but that was denied. Esther  after several hours of not setting eye on her baby then raised an alarm but she was confined alone in the hospital for three days and her family denied access.

The family then brought the matter on social media after which the director of the hospital came out on the 5th of April 2023, to debunk the claims and stated that no baby has been missing in that hospital. The Minister of Public  Health Manaouda Malachie was expected at the Laquintinie hospital in Douala the Littoral Region of Cameroon on the  Thursday the 6 of April 2023 of which he did but after the visit no action has been taken.

The bone of contention here is, where is Esthers baby ? If the baby is alive then the hospital should provide the baby and if the baby is dead as they midwives claimed then the body should be provided for the family to bury.

The family and the population of that locality are asking for justice for madam Esthers baby. That is how a man who is not happy with the slow action's of the hospital and that of the Minister of public health came out on the 10 of April 2023, with a placard demanding for the missing baby but was arrested by the forces of law and order and detained.
