In a shocking development, three young Nigerians have been arrested in Minna, Niger State, for allegedly attempting to remove a six-month-old foetus for ritual purposes.
The suspects, identified as Martha Andrew, James Luka, and Johnson John, reportedly lured a pregnant woman from the Rafin-Yashin area of Minna to a hotel along the Eastern Bypass under the guise of offering her ₦30 million if she suffered a miscarriage while inside the hotel.
Confirming the incident, the Niger State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Wasiu Abiodun, said police operatives from the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) tracked and apprehended the suspects at the hotel where the crime was to take place.
“During interrogation, the suspects confessed to the crime. They were arrested for conspiracy and attempting to cause a miscarriage,” Abiodun stated.
He further revealed that the suspects were working with an accomplice, known as "Gbege," who is currently on the run. Efforts are ongoing to apprehend the fugitive.
