The quack nurse, Favour Adebiyi, was reportedly approached by the deceased to help her abort the pregnancy.

In a swift response, some detectives were deployed to the town and they met the lifeless body of the deceased which they took to the General Hospital in Iju for autopsy.

Ogodo said the two suspects are currently undergoing interrogation. He noted that the quack nurse had confessed to the crime, adding that they have been transferred to the CID division of the command for further questioning.
