MUST READ! Placenta Buyers On The Prowl, Hear Mrs. Chidera Okereke Encounter With One In Oshodi, Lagos

“He is popularly known as Baba Saheed and owns a house few blocks away from the hospital. One day, he called me and asked me if he can buy placenta from the hospital. He promised to pay N1.5million for each baby’s placenta. I was shocked because that was a lot of money. 

I told him that I was not interested and he increased it to N2.5million and I still refused. To convince me, he said that there were so many places he could get supply but decided to try me since so many women were giving birth in the hospital. 

On a second thought, I drew the attention of the doctor who invited him over. He threatened to arrest him but later relented when Baba Saheed prostrated and started begging for mercy. He claimed that he got the contract from a big company. 

Since then it is a matter of policy that every pregnant woman must go home with her baby’s placenta after delivery in the hospital where i work”.
