pregnancies terminated, have
reportedly died after they drank some herbal
abortion concoction from a native home in Delta
State,
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.
