Neema and her family were shattered and in denial as the tests confirmed the baby who died was hers.
"I do not agree, and I have not accepted the results. My baby was not 2kgs, but the medics have said that it is my baby. When the results were announced, everyone was there. There were many people, from police officers, my family, the medical officers and a few government officials," she painfully shared.
Neema's family member stood with her kin, refuting the DNA results that showed the baby who died was 99.9% Neema's.

"I have not accepted it. Why did they give my baby to another woman to breastfeed him? That is not our baby. We are pleading with the government to intervene," she helplessly cried.

He claimed the due process had been followed and there was no foul play in the DNA testing.
