Woman lays claim to abandoned baby rescued by man whom authorities allegedly now claim is the government’s child.

A woman has come out to claim the baby that was found abandoned in a bush in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

Recall that LIB reported yesterday that a newborn baby with the placenta still attached was recovered by residents and a man within the area decided to pay for the child’s medical care after police officers who attended to the matter did not try to claim the baby.

Mr Okorom Ofuma then cried out that after paying for the baby to be placed in an incubator, for oxygen for the child, and other medical expenses, the child was revived from the edge of death and he decided to begin the formal process of adopting the baby.

However, he said authorities blocked his attempt at adopting the baby girl and told him the baby is the government’s child.

A woman who read the initial story on LIB’s online platform has now reached out claiming the child is hers.

She shared a video of herself today, Feb 26, confronting the hospital in Port Harcourt where she gave birth. She claimed the hospital lied to her that her child di£d only for her to now see her child online.

In a long chat with LIB, the woman, Naomi, narrated the complications before her pregnancy that led to her changing hospitals on the day she gave birth.

At the new hospital (which will not be named for now since it has not been verified that the accusations against the hospital are true), Naomi said they decided to carry out surgery, which she consented to.

As an orphan without any close living family member, her landlady was the one with her in the hospital.

After birth via CS, she said they took the baby away and she did not get to see the baby or find out the gender. According to her, the first scan she went for showed she was expecting a baby girl but the later scan showed a boy, so she assumed she had a son.

She claims that after surgery on May 9, 2025, her landlady told her the baby did not survive. When she confronted hospital staff, they told her the baby is alive and is being given medical care. She was then given a sedative that knocked her out.
