A nurse in Oke-Owa in the Ijebu Ode area of Ogun State has fled after she allegedly carried out an ab*rtion on one Deborah Sokoya.
The said termination failed, leading to serious bleeding and the subsequent hospitalisation of the victim.
Punch correspondent further gathered that Sokoya had earlier informed her partner, identified as Peter Balogun, that she would be paying a visit to her elder sister, known as Mutiat Sokoya.
After reaching Mutiat’s house located in the Iperin area of Ijebu-Ode, Deborah was lured by her elder sister to the location where the alleged ab*rtion was carried out.
This, according to the police, led to uncontrolled bleeding, and the victim was subsequently taken to a hospital for medical treatment.
Meanwhile, when contacted about the incident on Saturday, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, said a preliminary investigation showed that the boyfriend who reported the matter had also financed a separate ab*rtion on the same girlfriend as far back as 2023.
She added that both Mutiat and the boyfriend of the victim, Balogun, had been detained for interrogation.
“However, efforts are ongoing to apprehend the fleeing nurse and others who participated in the abortion.”
