Nigerian lady, Kemi, whose baby was almost swapped during delivery has suggested that DNA tests should be done immediately after pregnant women deliver their babies.
The lady called-in on phone to a program on Television Continental (TVC) on Tuesday morning while paternity fraud was being discussed.
According to Kemi, she and another woman, bearing the same name with her, welcomed their babies together on the same day in 2003.
However, while she was pregnant, she did a scan which showed she was expecting a baby boy, but when she gave birth, a chubby girl was presented. She said when questioned the sex of the child, the nurses in the General Hospital insisted that, that was her baby.
Kemi said that her saving grace was her pastor who stopped by at the hospital to check on her as her husband wasn’t around at the time. She said the pastor made sure to cause a scene at the hospital and that was when the nurses ‘remembered’ another boy had been born on the same day.
“The medical personnel in the hospital ended handing over my real baby boy to me.
“You can imagine if I had gone home with that chubby girl, they would say I had a child that is not her husband’s own. I want to suggest that whatever DNA that is to be done should be done in the hospital as soon as the woman has given birth,” Kemi said.
