Sommy (@Sommybless): Biko, Did you catch her with the baby? Where is the baby? Not defending her, but making claims without evidence won’t last long. She’ll be released because of that alone. In court, evidence is key, and she might sue this man for assault. Be careful

Fresh pumpkin (@…): The issue with Nigerians is that they think police is there to help not knowing police is there for their own cut. Just give it few days the woman will be on the street again targeting another. Our police will never give you justice is either they will milk you who came to report till you get tired and let go while the milk the accused and her family and finally let her go when they know they have milk enough and nothing is left. And if the person was a criminal he will come back to hunt u. Nigeria is so crazy.

Clipverse9ja (@ClipVerse9ja): Faking a pregnancy with cloth? That is a whole new level of wickedness and desperation. Thank God she was caught before she traumatized that family. 😌🚨
Cathie 🤍 (@itscathiee): Omo stealing newborn baby to do what… like is it that they’re looking for children😢what is exactly is going on in this country
Lady Cynthia (@Spicy4sm…): This is why a woman who just gave birth should not be left alone with her baby, family members should be around.
Bigcid (@Bigcid878b): A newborn’s safety should never be left to chance. Hospitals need strict identity checks and proper newborn security, while police investigate everyone involved. If the allegations are confirmed, those responsible must face the law. A child’s safety is non-negotiable.
OGVerse (@OgagaUMK): Una see say Nollywood na reality now? This level of evil suppose be fictional and not real at all. God have mercy on us.
