A young Nigerian man who insisted that his wife should deliver her baby at home has been arrested and accused of ‘deliberate criminal negligence’.

The man identified as Mr. Samuel Chidi, a graduate of Law from Ebonyi State University, Abakiliki, had watched his wife who had previously delivered twice through cesarean section, battle with labor pains in their room and bled to death.

“Chidi could have easily contacted a Nurse who was also living in the same compound but instead left the poor woman locked up in the room with a patent medicine dealer who, to make matters worse, administered improper injections, dragged out the baby to the ground while the husband pinned her legs down, collected the blood, the baby’s placenta and hid in his room while leaving the agonizing mother to bleed till death,” a source stated.

It was disclosed that the incident occurred late in the night around 11 pm, and the husband, Chidi did not inform anyone in the compound or any member of the deceased family until the afternoon of the following day when a neighbour, a nurse came to check on Mrs Nkechi. It was then that people knew that she was dead.

“She insisted that her corpse be deposited immediately at the morgue for proper attention while the lucky newborn baby is moved into intensive care,” the source further disclosed.

The corpse has since been deposited at the Federal Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki mortuary with the suspect placed under police custody pending investigation and trial.

“The circumstances surrounding the death of Mrs. Nkechi remain largely a mystery to her neighbors and family, and the general public is hopeful that the Justice Department of the State will leave no stone unturned in their attempt to unravel it and bring those culpable to book,” a family source said.
