Dr. Happiness Enyinnaya Iheukeumere, also known as Dr. Hagi, from Hagi Medical Center in Abohga Igwuruta Market Road, Port Harcourt, has been arrested for alleged child trafficking and murder of a 20-year-old woman.
Osun Defender reports that Dr. Hagi had earlier been arrested in October over allegations of child trafficking.
But this time, he is accused of killing a 20-year-old pregnant woman and selling her baby.
The Doctor was alleged to have perform a surgery on a pregnant woman, identified as Racheal Sampson, to remove her baby but the victim did not survive the surgery.
The doctor was said to have taken the baby away, and it is believed he sold the child.
The sister of the deceased revealed that Dr. Happiness instructed a nurse to inform their family that Rachael had died in a car accident.
She said, “On the 15th of November, 2023, an anonymous lady called us to inform us that my sister had died in a car crash.
“The informant sent us a fake number and told us that she got from the tip-off from that number. We asked her where my sister’s dead body was deposited, and she couldn’t say.
“We tried contacting the number she sent, but it proved abortive. Then, my parents went to Aba in search of my late sister’s body since an accident happened there. But the police and medical personnel told my parents that no woman died at the scene of the accident.
“We reported the development to the police, and they helped us to track the anonymous lady who gave us the tip-off.
“The anonymous lady had claimed that she was a POS agent and resided at Choba in Rivers State, but that was false as we discovered she was a nurse.
“She was eventually arrested and confessed that Dr. Happiness had brought my sister to stay with her for one week but came to pick her up on Monday, November 13.”)
“Two days later, he called the nurse and told her that my sister died while he was operating on her and instructed her not to tell the family. He ordered her to blacklist our numbers. We weren’t even aware that Racheal was pregnant, and we never took her to the doctor’s hospital.”
The nurses who workeda with Dr. Happiness were questioned and admitted to being present when the doctor performed surgery on Racheal, killing her.
The nurses confirmed the baby was alive after the surgery, but the doctor took her to an unknown location.
