A 25-year-old barber, Abdullateef Ibrahim, and one Ogundele Adeyinka (29), a patent medicine store operator, have been arraigned before an Ilorin magistrates’ court presided over by Magistrate Abayomi Muyiwa.

The duo were accused of terminating the pregnancy of a woman impregnated by one of the suspects.

According to the First Information Report (FIR), the suspects were charged on a two-count offence of criminal conspiracy and causing miscarriage, contrary to section 97 and 232 of Penal Code.

The case was reported on October 18 by one Mrs Victoria Okoduwa from the Office of the chairperson of International Federation of Female Lawyers (FIDA).

“Abdullateef Ibrahim of Kuntu area impregnated Issa Ganiyat Opeyemi of Offa garage area and took her to a patent medicine store at Isale Aluko area owned by one Ogundele Adeyinka for abortion.

“The suspect, Ibrahim, in the course of investigation, conducted by Anti Human Trafficking in Women and Children Protection Unit, confessed to impregnating Issa Ganiyat.

He was said to have introduced her to the second defendant, Adeyinka, who administered drugs and injection to her which resulted in the pregnancy termination.
