The Police have arrested a spiritualist over the death of a woman during childbirth in a church.
According to the Police, “On 4/5/20 at about 1950 hours, one Olaloye Jolayemi ‘f’ of Ologundudu Street Aboru reported at Oke Odo Police Station that on 4/05/2020 at about 1000hrs one Seun Olorunto ‘f’ 39 years old died after she was delivered of a baby boy by one Prophetess Evelyn Owoleke ‘f’ at Cherubim and Seraphim Church, Bayo Ajao Street Aboru.”.
Homicide detectives visited the scene and found the woman laying in the pool of her blood, suggesting that the deceased person might have bled to death due to complications.
The corpse was removed from the Church to General Hospital Yaba for autopsy.
The infant was taken to hospital for medical examination and care while the traditional/spiritual midwife was arrested and taken to State CID Yaba.
