Operatives of the Delta State Police Command have arrested a man, David Fohba (42), over allegedly  procuring abortion drugs after molesting and impregnating his 14-year-old step daughter.

The command’s spokesperson, Edafe Bright, said the suspect was arrested after the teenage girl  confided in the principal of her school.

Bright said, “On the first day, the suspect forcefully raped her when she was 13, and after that he continued to violate and molest her every other night. He  didn’t just end there. In August this year, the girl informed the suspect that she missed her period, and he went to the internet and googled how to abort pregnancy

“After the internet search, he procured 18 tablets of cytolet (200m) and forced the girl to take 12 tablets of it to abort the baby.”

He added that when the pregnancy refused to terminate, he went to the internet again and bought an oxytocin injection that was supposed to be given through the vein and forced her to  drink it.

He said it was after that the suspect was arrested, adding that the pharmacist who sold the prescription drugs had also been arrested

The girl,  in a video interview with the police, said her step-father started molesting her in January, last year.

She said, “He called me to the room during a wedding party in our compound and started touching me and thereafter pulled my pant and raped me.”

She said when she told him that she missed her period, he bought her drugs, saying they would flush her system .

She further said, “The first time he gave me the drug was on Sunday, and he instructed me to tell my mother that I am having stomach pains so that I could come home to take the drug.”

The main suspect, also in a video interview, confessed molesting the teenager since January last year, saying he procured the drugs when she informed him that she had not seen her period.

He said, “I told her that the drugs would flush her system and she would see her period.”
