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.
Harrison said “since there are retained products of conception, there is a tendency for the victim to bleed continuously which can lead to shock or death.
He further said ” there is an urgent need for retained products to be removed. (Manual Vacuum Aspiration)”.
