Police hunt for woman captured on CCTV abandoning baby at hospital in Kisii

Police in Kisii are looking for a middle-aged woman who was captured on CCTV footage dumping a month old baby inside Ram Hospital's theatre room within Kisii town.

Confirming the incident, Kisii Central OCPD Peter Kimani said a hunt is underway for the woman who stayed for 40 minutes within the hospital premises.

According to the hospital's administrator Enock Abobo, the woman was captured at the hospital's reception and along the corridors carrying "her" baby before abandoning him at the theatre room without the knowledge of the security officers manning the facility. 

The hospital management has offered to take care of the newborn baby until the mother is found.

The young angel has now been christened "Gift".

It still remains unclear as to why the newborn was dumped within the hospital.
