The Rivers State Police Command announced the arrest of one Eyinnaya Iheukwumere, commonly known as Doctor Hagi, for allegedly killing Rachael Samson, 20, and selling her baby.

Iheukwumere, who purportedly owns the ‘Hagi Medical Centre’ in Igwuruta in the state’s Ikwere Local Government Area, is accused of killing Samson during an operation at his facility.

In an Instagram post, the deceased’s sister claimed that Doctor Hagi asked a nurse at his hospital to notify the family that she died in a car accident.
