A 35-year old Blessing Sunday Etim, has been reported dead after allegedly committing illegal abortion at Full Life Medical Centre run by a quack doctor in Ikot Obio Odongo Village, Ibesikpo Asutan Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom State.
According to her mother, who alerted the police, Blessing who was an employee of the medical center is suspected to have been impregnated by her employer.
Additional information from a co-tenant in the compound they lived, revealed that the victim’s employer, who identified himself as Dr. Sunday Okon Akpan, attempted to secretly enter the deceased’s room to dump her body. When confronted, he dropped the corpse and fled the scene.
Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Timfon John who confirmed the incident through a press release in Uyo, said that the suspect has been arrested by the police.
According to DSP John, the suspect, Dr Sunday Okon Akpan was arrested on Tuesday, August 19, 2025 after receiving the information.
“Upon arrival, detectives observed a premature fetus exiting the victim’s private part. A subsequent investigation led to the arrest of the suspect, Sunday Okon Akpan, a resident of Afaha Offiong village in Nsit Ibom.
“Preliminary investigations revealed that the victim died from a suspected illegal abortion performed by the accused. Further inquiries exposed that the suspect, who owns and operates the Full Life Medical Centre, is not a licensed medical doctor or a nurse, but rather a community health practitioner. It is believed that he used the facility to perform illegal medical services and abortions. The health center had since been found deserted.
“The body of the deceased has been deposited at a morgue for preservation and an autopsy. The investigation is ongoing, and more information will be released as it becomes available.”DSP John stated
