A Nigerian woman has been arrested after breaking into a home at 4 a.m. in an attempt to steal a baby while the child’s mother was asleep.
The shocking incident was shared on the popular social media platform TikTok, where it was revealed that the woman had already picked up the baby before the mother woke up and quickly intervened. The father of the child provided further details, explaining in the post: “My wife was asleep with our daughter when the woman tried to take her. As soon as she lifted the baby, my wife woke up and immediately pulled her back.”
The video also showed the woman attempting to justify her actions and the tense moment when she was confronted by the family.
After the footage went viral, many social media users took to the comments section to express their surprise and concern over the disturbing event. Some raised questions about how the woman was able to gain access to the house, with others suggesting that this might not have been her first attempt at such an act.
Here are a few of the reactions:

- shuga Hannah: “It might not be her first time doing something like this.”
- R.S.O: “Something doesn’t add up. How could a maid enter a room where the mother and child were sleeping? How bold is she? Let the maid speak, please.”
