The sourcing is sketchy but the tragedy of two lost lives is clear.
Gift Imoluamen, an undergraduate student studying political science at Ambrose Alli University in Nigeria, died from complications from a botched abortion. The university is located in Ekpoma, a town in Edo State, Nigeria. The age of her unborn baby was not disclosed in two local news sources.
The alleged father was her pastor, Pastor Emma Akhime of House of Levite Chapel, whose whereabouts, according to CybokNews, is unknown. He “fled his home to evade arrest,” CybokNews reported.
Olisa TV quoted a source who said
“Gift Imoluamen who was a 300 level student studying Political Science in the faculty of social sciences, when [she] discovered that she was pregnant. [She] informed her Pastor and in order to cover up for the shame, they both agreed to terminate the pregnancy and after the abortion was carried out, she died of the complications.
