BENIN – IT was a harrowing experience for newly delivered and would be mothers at the labour and maternity Ward of the Edo State owned Central Hospital Benin when suspected robbers were allegedly said to have invaded the hospital at the early hours of Wednesday.
It was gathered that the hoodlums were said to have found their way into the Maternity Ward through the window and forced the women in the room to scamper for safety with their new born babies.
One of the nurses at the maternity ward who spoke on condition of anonymity to newsmen said the attack took place at about 1am.
She however added that the attackers did not succeed in taking away any new babies as the babies were taken to safety before the attackers finally came into the ward.
A husband to one of the victims who identified himself as Bernard Isokponpa said his wife lost two GSM handsets and some money to the attackers, even as he said that he could not confirm whether they were ritualists or robbers as his wife ran out with their new baby boy.
