Police Arrest Fake Nurse In Ondo As Pregnant Woman Dies After Giving Birth To Twins

Ondo State Police Command
has arrested a nurse suspected
to be quack over complicity in
the death of a woman in labour
at Bamikemo village in Ile-Oluji/
Okeigbo Local Government
Area of Ondo State. The
woman, identified simply as
Ayo, died shortly after she was
delivered of a set of twins.
A source said the deceased
approached the suspect when
she was about to be delivered
because she worked as a nurse
at the hospital but allegedly
without any professional
qualification.
It was gathered that the
deceased delivered the babies
successfully but after a while
she became unconscious and
the suspect could not
resuscitate her.
The woman gave up the ghost
shortly after. Not satisfied with
the development, the family of
the deceased reported the case
at the police station in the area.
The body of the deceased has
been deposited at the State
General Hospital, Ile-Oluji. The
state Public Relations Officer
(PPRO), Mr Femi Joseph,
confirmed the incident.
According to him, the woman
died as a result of
complications that arose after
she had been delivered of the
babies.
He said:
“When the woman was about
putting to bed, the nurse
offered to take the delivery,
knowing fully well that she does
not have the professional
qualification to do that. In the
process of doing that
complications arose, which led
to the death of that woman.That
is why we arrested the nurse.”
