A pregnant woman, simply identified as Mrs Vivian has lost her baby and her womb during complicated childbirth to a fake nurse in Effurun in the Uvwie LGA of Delta State.

According to media reports, Mrs Vivian lost her baby after the ‘nurse,’ Mrs Ebi Igho, allegedly made multiple cuts on her abdomen which led to her bleeding from 9 am till 8 pm before she was rushed to Warri Central Hospital where her womb had to be removed in order to save her life.

The nurse was later arrested after the incident and was brought to the notice of the State Committee for the Defense of Human Rights (CDHR) and the Delta State Human Rights Protection Congress, represented by Mr Kelvin Ejumudo.

The incident was reported online by Human Rights Activist, Kelvin Ejumudo who wrote: “Beware of Quark Nurses!

“One Mrs Ebi Igho who resides off New era street Jakpa Road, Effurun in Uvwie Local Government council area of Delta State, was today arrested by me for delivering a pregnant woman, Mrs Vivian, surname withheld, and in the process, she lost the baby and went into serious bleeding from 9 am till 8 pm in the evening after the baby has breached in the womb and she went ahead to give the mother multiple cuts that left her in the pool of her blood before she was rushed to central Hospital, Warri and in the process, her womb was removed in order to save her life.

“When interrogated Mrs Ebi Igho, the fake nurse, is not a registered nurse and has not gone through any medical institution from any universities but was operating in isolation as a quack thereby endangering the lives of pregnant women.

“She carried out this process with the use of a torch light and no generating set and no license to operate as a nurse.

“I want to especially appreciate the DPO EKPAN Division CSP Bulus Rimamchirika Musa who gave me a patrol Hilux for this arrest, Mr and Mrs Igho are cooling off at the Ekpan police station and will be charged to court for prosecution.

“My advice to our pregnant mothers and sisters is please stop patronizing quacks for your safety and that of the unborn child, go to Government hospitals and health centres for a medical checkup and antenatal procedures.

“Am calling on the Delta State government and the Commissioner of Health, Delta state to rise up to the ovation and ensure such unprofessional outlets within the state are destroyed and culprits arrested. The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) must put their toes on the ground as well to monitor such illegal personalities.”
