The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the gunmen arrived at the hospital at about 1am demanding for a day old babies, and beating up staff who could not give satisfactory answer.
A senior health officer, who pleaded anonymity, said that the armed men invaded the hospital located along Irona area at about 1am and suddenly began molesting medical officials on night duty.
According to the officer, the invaders, who were fully armed, are rhetorically demanding for the whereabouts of a particular baby, said to have been delivered earlier in the day.
"They got more annoyed when they were told that no baby was available in the hospital as at the time they came, it angered then the more and they went berserk," the officer said.
"As a senior person on duty, I tried to convince them that all new born babies have been discharged from the centre in the last couple of days, but they refused to be convinced.
"This angered them the more and they descended on the staff beating us, some of them were busy ransacking the place in search of babies," the source said.
