The incident reportedly occurred on Saturday, October 17, 2026, when patients and hospital staff intervened and foiled the alleged attempt.
According to reports, the suspect stuffed pieces of cloth under her clothing to create the appearance of a baby bump, while another woman allegedly posed as someone who had accompanied her to assist with delivery.
A viral video circulating online shows the suspect carrying the pieces of cloth she allegedly used to fake her pregnancy.
The spokesperson for the Lagos State Police Command, Abimbola Adebisi, confirmed the incident, stating that the suspect had been arrested while efforts were ongoing to apprehend her alleged accomplice, who fled the scene.
“The alleged perpetrator is currently in custody, while efforts are ongoing to apprehend the accomplice and charge the case to court as soon as the investigation is concluded,” Adebisi said.
The police are expected to conclude their investigation before taking further legal action against the suspect.
