Police Arrests Fake Pharmacist for Death of Pregnant Woman in Cross River
Godswill Umoren, who is a 30-year-old drug dispenser (fake pharmacist) in Akamkpa Local Government Area of Cross River State has be arrested by the police for allegedly injecting a pregnant woman, Uduak Udofia, in an attempt to abort her pregnancy, which led to her death.
Umoren said he administered the injection following the advice of the deceased’s husband, Sunday Udofia. The state Commissioner of Police, Hafiz Inuwa, confirmed that the suspect had confessed to the crime and would soon be charged to court.
Punch reports that Umoren admitted to administering the injection despite not being a qualified health worker.
“I was the one that gave her the injection. Her husband called me to his house to examine his sick wife. I asked her what happened, she said that she was having body pain and they bought drugs for her. When I gave her the injection initially, she did not die. I am not a medical personnel, I learnt how to administer drugs and inject patients from my brother who is a doctor. I only helped her to recover.” He said
The commissioner explained that after thorough investigation by the police, the suspects would be charged to court accordingly.
We need to weed the society of all these quack doctors, pharmacists and anything relating to health care.
