Police Arrest Traditional Ruler Over Death Of Pregnant Woman

The Edo State Police command has arrested Enogie Ogieriakhi, a traditional ruler in Edo State over the death of a 27 year old pregnant woman .
The pregnant woman identified as Faith Aigbe, was found locked up in the Toyota Lexus SUV of the Enogie of Uroho, Iguodala Ogieriakhi.
Sources claimed that the corpse was allegedly brought to the hospital by the traditional ruler who locked up the vehicle, abandoned the corpse and fled the scene when he discovered that the woman was dead.

It was wailing and lamentation as the huge crowd, which gathered a the hospital premises, broke the glasses of the SUV to take a glance at the dead pregnant woman.

The traditional ruler who later reported himself to the police, said that the woman died while trying to procure abortion for an eight-month pregnancy, on the instructions of her relations, who were opposed to the relationship between him and the deceased.

According to him “I proposed to marry Faith. She lived with me in my palace. But I have been having issues with some of her family members who do not want me to marry her.

“Faith was eight months pregnant for me, but some of her family members who do not want me to marry her encouraged her to commit abortion,” the traditional chief explained.
Confirming the incident, Edo Police command spokesman, Bello Kantongs, said the traditional ruler had been arrested and transferred to the Homicide Department of the CID for investigations.

“It is true, the lady’s corpse was found in the Enogie’s car, but he has been arrested today and transferred to the Homicide Department of CID for investigations,” Kontongs confirmed.
