23 young ladies who wanted their unwanted
pregnancies terminated, have reportedly died
after they drank some herbal concoction from a
native home in Delta State
LeadershipNg reports Mr. Ikechukwu Aduba,
the state police commissioner, who confirmed
the discovering of the illegal home, said no
fewer than 23 females whose unwanted
pregnancies were terminated, died after
drinking the concoction.
He explained that the detectives arrested the
operators who were mainly native doctors and
quack nurses and upon interrogation, confessed
to the crime.
The home is located around Ugborikoko in
Uvwie local government area.
The suspects claimed they were trained in
traditional medicine, especially in the use of
concoction to terminate unwanted pregnancies.
One of their victims, a 22-year-old house-help
in the area, identified as Endurance, recently
died as a result of abortion she had performed
at the home.
It was learnt that the victim took ill and was
rushed back to the quack home where she died
as a result of complications from the abortion
she allegedly carried out in the abortion
centre.
A test conducted on her death by medical
experts showed that she was pregnant and
attempted to abort it at the hands of the native
doctors and quack nurses in the home.
One of the suspects, the police boss disclosed,
identified as Ufuoma had made useful
statements, adding that the police recovered
different bottles with concoction and charms
tied around sticks including locally made guns.
