The Nation reports that the deceased, Fatima Yusuf, died following after childbirth after she was repeatedly raped and impregnated by one Dr Seyi.

 

The reports revealed that Fatima was raped while she cared for her mother who was on admission at the hospital.

She was being treated for a severe case of diabetes.

A family source is reported to have quoted Fatima as telling her family that it all began on the day Dr Seyi invited her to his room while her mother was asleep.

The sexual assault continued until Fatima’s mother was discharged from the hospital.

The Emir of Bida, Alhaji Abubakar Yahaya, was forced to intervene in the case which had quickly become serious.

The accused reportedly admitted to hugging Fatima and rubbing his body against her during the course of interrogation at the Emir’s palace. He, however, denied having sex with her.

Unfortunately, Fatima died on Monday, February 3, while awaiting the result of a paternity test.

 

She was delivered of a baby boy at the family house in Bida.

The Niger State Child Rights Agency reportedly took over the case. The DG of the agency, Barrister Mariam Kolo, said promised that Dr Seyi would not escape prosecution if found guilty.

Kolo also said that Fatima died from intense depression because of the terrible crime the doctor committed against her.

The management of the Federal Medical Centre, Bida, when contacted, confirmed that a case of alleged sexual harassment was filed against one of its doctors.
