A 50-year-old man, Wisdom Okoro, broke down in tears when police

arrested him over a fatal abortion. Police operatives attached to the

Ikorodu Division of the Lagos State Police Command arrested the suspect

on April 11, 2021, for the sudden death of his girlfriend identified as

Enobong Udoh, 38. One Blessing Pius, reported to the police that

Enobong Udoh, was found dead in her house. The police operatives

immediately invited her boyfriend, Mr Okoro, for interrogation

where he confessed that his lover died after an abortion.

He confessed his lover had taken seed in February and he visited her

to confirm if she had indeed terminated the pregnancy.

When he discovered she had lied, Lagos State Police stated he confessed

to have bought her pills, which in turn led to her death.

According to the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, CSP

Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the statement and utterances of the suspect

revealed that he had some questions to answer.

The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Hakeem Odumosu

has ordered that he should be transferred to the  Homicide Section of
