Sensing that trouble was knocking at his door, the suspect was said to have rushed her to a private hospital where the doctor who was recently picked up and quizzed by detectives helped them to evacuate the remnants of the pregnancy.

After the evacuation of the fetus by the doctor in the
private hospital, her persistent complaint of abdominal pain made the suspect to relocate her to
the State general hospital where she later gave up the ghost.

“It was a friend called Omololu who informed me
that my sister has been admitted in the State specialist hospital and was critically ill. I rushed to the hospital to meet my sister in pain complaining of
stomach ache. She insisted that the doctors should not give her injection or drips as prescribed.”
