A man identified as Mr. Samuel Chidi, a graduate of Law from Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki, has been accused of ‘deliberate críminal negligence’ towards his wife.
According to a social media user who shared the story with Igbere TV, Chidi, a resident of Diamond Point Junction, Chinedu Ogah Avenue, Abakaliki, had watched his wife who had previously delivered twice through caesarean section (operation), battle with labour pains in their room and bleed to d£ath.
“Chidi could have easily contacted a Nurse who was also living in the same compound but instead left the poor woman locked up in the room with a patent medicine dealer (chemist woman) who, to make matters worse, administered improper injéctions, dragged out the baby to the ground while the husband pinned her legs down, collected the blóód, the baby’s placenta and hid in his room while leaving the agonizing mother to blééd till déath,” our source alleged.
It was gathered that the incident occurred around 11pm, and Chidi did not inform anyone in the compound or any member of the deceased family until the afternoon of the following day when a neighbour, a Nurse who came to check on Mrs. Nkechi, the late woman, learnt of the incident.
The family of the woman was later informed and they started a very serious trouble with the man, but thank God for the quick intervention of members of the Nigeria Police from Kpirikpiri Station, who were on Patrol duty, got wind of the incident and prevailed on the situation.”
The córpse was taken to the Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki mortuary while the suspect was placed under police custody pending investigation and trial.
Friends what do you think could be the man’s reasons for insisting that the wife must deliver at home, what made him not call for urgent medical help when she started bleeding continuously?
