Boyfriend, Quack Nurse Arrested After 18-year- old Girl Dies Of Abortion

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.
