Eight suspects have been arrested in connection with the alleged killing and secret burial of a newborn baby at Kwatam Private Hospital along Baga Road in Maiduguri, Borno State.
The development was made public on Saturday by security analyst Zagazola Makama, who disclosed the incident in a post on his official X handle.
According to Zagazola, the incident occurred at about 1:00 p.m. on April 18, 2025, after concerned residents raised an alarm upon witnessing individuals attempting to bury a baby within the hospital premises.
“Security operatives swiftly responded, cordoned off the area, and arrested all suspects involved in the act,”; the post stated.
The arrested suspects have since been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for further interrogation and a full investigation into the circumstances and motive behind the act.
