Key Points
- NGO owner alleges a hospital handed three children to strangers. She says their mother died during a surgical procedure.
- Staff allegedly asked for family contacts with no clear result. One child went to a pastor, two to a woman.
- Police report is filed as search for relatives begins. Public appeal seeks the children’s extended family contacts.
NGO owner Agiye Amira has raised a grave claim. She alleges an Enugu hospital gave out three children. Their mother reportedly died during a surgical operation.
Amira names the deceased as Chinyere Jennifer James. She says staff sought relatives, but the children knew none. Her call echoes wider duty-of-care debates, including the MC Mbakara hospital care case.
What she alleges
According to her, staff later split the siblings between two adults. One child allegedly went to a pastor the same day. She says the other two were released to a woman.
Police response and next steps
Amira says she has lodged a formal report with police. She urges anyone who knows the family to come forward. She also posts a short video under the handle @_isaamira.
Amira says staff asked the children about their father. The children reportedly could not provide any contact details. She claims the release happened after those checks were made.
In such cases, trained officers usually work with welfare units. They trace next of kin and keep minors in protective care. Courts can later decide any longer-term placement after review.
Key questions remain about consent forms and discharge decisions. Were social workers present when staff spoke with the children? Do logs, CCTV or witnesses confirm the alleged handover steps?
Early claims online can miss context or key facts. Readers should treat allegations with care until officials confirm. Similar recent scrutiny includes a Benin clinic misdiagnosis report.
Enugu Police Command can direct callers to the right desk. Neighbouring stations will also forward details to the duty unit. Keep records of who you spoke to and when.
