A 39-year-old woman, Afusat Ololade, has passed away in the Ita Baale area of Ifo, Ogun State, after receiving an injection from an auxiliary nurse.
According to the Punch, the incident happened at about 4:07pm on Tuesday, June 18, 2024.
A police source narrated that the deceased woman fell ill and was receiving treatment at the house of someone, identified as Alabede Libagi, who claimed to be a native doctor.
When he realized the woman was not getting any better, Libagi allegedly invited an auxiliary nurse in the community, known as Oyin Israel, to administer treatment.
The nurse consequently administered an injection on the victim.
The 39-year-old woman reportedly passed away shortly after receiving the injection, resulting in the arrest of the native doctor, the auxiliary nurse, and the motorcyclist who transported them to the location.
Responding to the incident, the command spokesperson, Odutola Omolola, stated that an investigation had begun to uncover the details of the incident.
She said, “Our Ifo Division has arrested the three suspects after the matter was reported by the deceased’s daughter. The deceased was taken to the general hospital in the area which confirmed her dead. Three persons have been arrested in relation to the crime.”
