The most recent medical report, quoted by Vanguard yesterday, refutes online media accusations that the DSS agents who are holding the adolescent, whose name was provided as Chiamaka Okoro and who was detained with some gunmen in Imo State, were responsible for her pregnancy.

According to the report quoted by Vanguard, Chiamaka Okoro was born in May 2006 and was already pregnant when she was apprehended and placed into the custody of the DSS on March 14, 2022, when security operatives raid several gang leaders’ hideouts in the Njaba community.

Chiamaka was verified to be pregnant as early as January 22, 2022, and is anticipated to give birth in the second week of October 2022, according to two thorough test pregnancy reports issued by two hospitals on various dates and locations. Although she was taken into custody by the DSS on March 14, 2022, the first medical examination she underwent at a government hospital on June 3, 2022, revealed that she was already in the 23rd week of pregnancy.

Similarly, a confirmatory medical test conducted on her in a private hospital on July 22, 2022, at the instance of Imo State government, indicated that she was pregnant for 27 weeks and six days and was due for delivery on October 15, 2022.

A top source close to the matter said yesterday:  “It is clear from the confirmatory medical report done by a private hospital in Owerri that the girl’s expected date of delivery is October 15, 2022, which is an indication that she had taken in as early as January this year before she was arrested on March 14, 2022.

A security report indicates that Chiamaka, who was co-habiting with one of the gang leaders, identified as Ejim, now at large, when he was arrested at Njaba, kept mute on her pregnancy until May this year when the baby bump began to show.

It was also gathered that when questioned on the matter, the teenager admitted she was put in the family way by the said Ejim who is on the run over suspected complicity in orchestrated killings and destruction in the state.

It will be recalled that following incessant killings and destruction in that part of the state, security operatives raided the area and arrested some gunmen along with some young girls who were living with the suspects.

Some of the girls, it was learned, were reportedly forced into the camps of the gang leaders for sexual purposes and had no means of escaping from their captors.

When contacted on the latest development, the Public Relations Officer of the Department of State Services, Dr. Peter Afunanya, said the service had been vindicated by medical reports, adding that none of the agency’s operatives could have flouted laid down standard operational procedure by sleeping with a minor in its custody.

“We have been exonerated by the two medical reports that you have found out by your investigations and we have nothing to add, knowing that the DSS as a disciplined and professional agency has its standard operational guidelines that cannot easily be flouted by any staff to indulge in by going to sleep with a woman in its custody,” Afunanya said yesterday.
