Police in Cross river state have paraded a 30-year-old drug dispenser
from Akamkpa Local Government Area, Godswill Umoren, for allegedly
injecting a pregnant woman, Mrs. Uduak Udofia, in an attempt to abort
her pregnancy.
The injection, Southern City
News reports, led to the
death of Mrs. Udofia on
February 11, 2017. Umoren, who claimed to be a chemist, was said have
administered the injection following the advice of the deceased's
husband, Mr. Sunday Udofia. Parading the suspect
alongside 21 other alleged
criminals at the headquarters
of the Cross River State Police
Command in Calabar, the
state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Hafiz Inuwa, said that the
administered injection was
meant to terminate the
pregnancy of the deceased. Inuwa said the suspect had
confessed to the crime and
would soon be charged to the
court.
He said, "On February 11, 2017, one Sunday Udofia
reported at Akamkpa
Police Division that a
chemist identified as
Godswill Umoren had, in
a bid to terminate and abort the pregnancy of
his wife, Uduak Udofia,
administered injection
which led to her death.
The suspect has
confessed to the offence and will soon appear in
court." But Umoren, who is an
indigene of Ikot-Ekpene in
Akwa Ibom State, admitted
to administering the injection
despite not being a qualified
health worker. He said, "I was the one that gave
her the injection. Her
husband called me to his
house to examine his
sick wife. I asked her
what happened, she said that she was having
body pain and they
bought drugs for her.
When I gave her the
injection initially, she
did not die. "I am not a medical
personnel, I learnt how
to administer drugs and
inject patients from my
brother who is a doctor.
I only helped her to recover.
