A seven-day-old baby was forcefully abducted from its mother and later placed for adoption in what experts have called a cruel contemplated and organised child theft.

In the case that is one of the highlights of a report presented to President Uhuru Kenyatta, the mother was forcefully arrested and falsely accused of neglecting her child. The child was placed in a children’s home on grounds that he had been abandoned in Kibera on May 17, 2014 from where he was rescued by a Good Samaritan.
