Men of the Anambra State police command have taken into custody, a 35-year-old man identified as Chris Azuoma, who impregnated a 15-year-old girl, thereafter took her to a hospital for abortion.
Azuoma reportedly had forceful unprotected sexual intercourse with the teenager and took to a hospital where she was injected and given abortion pills.
It was gathered that when the girl began to bleed heavily due to the injection, she was taken to a specialist hospital where the foetus was evacuated.
A human rights activist Gwamnishu Emefiena Harrison who reported the incident said his team arrested the perpetrator and handed over to 33 Divisional Police station Onitsha, Anambra State.
