A 24-year-old woman has
died in Lagos after she was
administered with an
obnoxious substance by a
suspected quack doctor
following an undisclosed ailment. Sophia Ifeoma Obi was said
to have visited her fiancé in
Lagos in preparation for their
marriage when the tragic
incident happened. The 46-year old man, Ojelabi
Jonathan, who injected her,
had since been arrested and
is facing trial. Trouble started when
Jonathan went to Sophia’s
fiancé’s house at DF 47,
Shagari Estate, Ipaja, Lagos
and allegedly mixed an
obnoxious substance and injected her after which she
immediately started
vomiting and became
unconscious. She was rushed to a hospital
where she was certified dead
and was taken to a mortuary. The Anambra state indigene
was said to have met her
fiancé known as Obi, a
clearing agent and they
agreed to marry each other. Neighbours said Sophia
didn’t move in with Obi, but
usually visits and goes back
to her parents. It was during
her last visit that the tragic
incident happened. The matter was reported at
Ipaja Police station and
Jonathan was arrested. The
matter was later transferred
to SCID, Panti, Yaba for
investigation. Jonathan was charged before
the court presided over by
Mrs M.A. Ladipo, for alleged
criminal termination of
Ifeoma’s life. His plea was not taken. The
court ordered that he should
be remanded in prison
custody, while the prosecutor
was ordered to duplicate his
case file and send it to DPP for advice.
