A quack nurse has been arrested by police detectives in Ondo State over the death of an 18-year-old girl, Omolayo Afolabi, who she helped to terminate a two-month-old pregnancy in Iju/Itaogbolu area of the state.
Also arrested by the police is Joseph Endurance, the deceased’s lover said to have been responsible for her pregnancy.
The quack nurse, Favour Adebiyi, was reportedly approached by the deceased to help her abort the pregnancy.
The deceased, who was introduced to the quack nurse by one of her friends, informed her to help them terminate the pregnancy since her boyfriend was too young to father a child, sources told Vanguard.
The nurse was said to have given her some drugs to use which, according to information, led to her untimely death, following complications.
She died 24 hours later after refusing to seek medical help.
The news of her death later got to her family members following which one of them reported the case at the Iju Police station.
Detectives deployed to the town met the lifeless body of the deceased as they rushed to the deceased’s residence, and took to the General Hospital in Iju for autopsy.
Confirming the incident, the image maker of the State Police command, Wole Ogodo, said the quack nurse and the boyfriend of the 18-year-old deceased are being detained and interrogated.
He noted that the quack nurse had confessed to the crime, adding that they have been transferred to the CID division of the command for further questioning.
