in Ondo State (Nigeria) have arrested a quark nurse over the death of an
18-year-old girl, Omolayo Afolabi, who she helped to terminate a two-month
pregnancy in Iju/Itaogbolu area of the state.
Also
arrested by the police is Joseph Endurance, the deceased 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.
Vanguard
gathered that the deceased, who was introduced to the quack nurse by one of her
friends, informed her to help them terminate the pregnancy since her boy friend
was too young to father a child.

nurse was said to have given her some drugs to use which, according to
information, led to her untimely death.
It
was gathered that the drugs taken at night by the deceased later led to some
complications.

still salvage the situation until the pain became unbearable and resulted in
her death some 24 hours after she administered the drugs.
The
news of her death later got to her family members following which one of them
reported the case at the Iju Police station.
In
a swift response, some detectives were deployed to the town and they met the
lifeless body of the deceased which they took to the General Hospital in Iju
for autopsy.

the image maker of the command, Wole Ogodo, confirmed that the quack nurse and
the boyfriend of the 18-year-old deceased are being detained.
Ogodo
said the two suspects are currently undergoing interrogation.
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.
