A mother who gave birth to twins in agony after one of the babies was allegedly swapped with a dead one.
The mother had been admitted to Kayole II Level Four Sub-County Hospital, in Kayole, Nairobi, where she gave birth.
Speaking to the media on Wednesday, the distraught mother asserted that the twins—a girl and a boy—were healthy based on reports of ultrasounds performed not long before delivery.
She is thus demanding answers why one of the babies was declared dead out of the blue.
Her suspicions were raised after a doctor at the facility notified her that one of the twins succumbed before she could even see them.
As word spread of the tragedy, Kayole residents flocked to the hospital, demanding an explanation for what had happened.

Chris Odonge, Kayole Member of the County Assembly, informed the press that the issue was filed with the police, who launched investigations.
“The body has been taken to Mama Lucy (hospital), and the good thing is that the twins’ father has an OB,” said Odonge.
“So we will follow up on the OB and do a DNA test. That is what is important so that we know whether the dead baby belongs to the mother,” he added.
Odonge asserted that the matter could not be settled until the DNA test was done.
Sub-County Police Commander Lucas Ongaye asked the residents to maintain calm and allow for investigation to be done.
“We have commenced an investigation since the case has been reported. We have faith the probe will be done well, and that we will get the right answers,” urged Ongaye.
