A 39-year-old woman, Afusat Ololade, has died in the Ita Baale area of Ifo, Ogun State, after being injected.
The state Police Command has begun an investigation into the incident that occurred at about 4:07pm on Tuesday 18, 2024.
The deceased woman had been ill and was receiving treatment at the home of someone identified as Alabede Libagi, who claimed to be a native doctor.
When he could no longer treat the victim’s ailment, Libagi allegedly consulted with an auxiliary nurse in the community, known as Oyin Israel, who is alleged to have administered the fatal injection.
The 39-year-old woman reportedly passed away shortly after receiving the injection.
This led to the arrest of the native doctor, the auxiliary nurse, and the motorcyclist who transported them to the location.
