The police command in Lagos State said it arrested a nurse over the alleged death of a 36-year-old woman, simply identified as Abiola.
The command’s spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed this on Wednesday in Lagos.
Mr Hundeyin said that the nurse was arrested after the Maroko Police Division received a report on Tuesday at about 11.40 a.m. from the driver of the deceased, whose name was not mentioned.
He explained that the driver reported that at about 3:00 a.m. on Monday, his boss, living at Diamond Estate, Sangotedo-Lekki, asked him to convey her to a clinic located at Lekki Phase 1, for a BBL injection for buttocks enlargement.
According to the police spokesperson, on arrival, the owner of the clinic (name not mentioned), instructed a nurse to inject the now-deceased lady, who later became unconscious and started gasping for breath.
“The victim was rescued and rushed to another hospital in Lekki Phase 1 for treatment, where she was confirmed dead by the doctor on duty. Based on the report, the scene was visited by a team of detectives. The hospital was also visited, where the corpse was inspected and photographed, before it was evacuated to a public morgue for autopsy,” he said.
Mr Hundeyin said that the said nurse had been arrested and investigation was in progress.
