Doctor arrested for allegedly killing woman, selling baby, child trafficking

A medical doctor, who was arrested in October for allegedly trafficking four children to different parts of the country, has been arrested again.

This time, Dr. Happiness Enyinnaya Iheukeumere, aka Dr. Hagi, is accused of k!lling a 20-year-old pregnant woman and selling her baby.

Dr. Hagi of Hagi Medical Center, located at Abohga Igwuruta market road, Port Harcourt, allegedly performed surgery on a pregnant woman identified as Racheal Sampson to remove her baby. She did not survive the surgery.

Subsequently, the doctor took her baby away and it is believed he sold the child.

According to the sister of the deceased, Dr. Happiness told a nurse to inform their family that Racheal d!ed in a car accident.

She said, “On the 15th of November, 2023, an anonymous lady called us to inform us that my sister had d!ed in a car crash. The informant sent us a fake number and told us that she got from the tip-off from that number. We asked her where my sister’s d£ad body was deposited and she couldn’t say.

“We tried contacting the number she sent but it proved abortive. Then, my parents went to Aba in search of my late sister’s body since an accident happened there. But the police and medical personnel told my parents that no woman d!ed at the scene of the accident.

“We reported the development to the police and they helped us to track the anonymous lady who gave us the tip-off.

“The anonymous lady had claimed that she was POS agent and resided at Choba in Rivers State but that was false as we found out that she was a nurse.

“She was eventually arrested and confessed that Dr. Happiness had brought my sister to stay with her for one week but came to pick her up on Monday, November 13.

“Two days later, he called the nurse and told her that my sister d!ed while he was operating on her and instructed her not to tell the family. He ordered her to blacklist our numbers. We weren’t even aware that Racheal was pregnant and we never took her to the doctor’s hospital.”

The nurses who worked with Dr. Happiness were questioned and they admitted to being present when the doctor performed surgery on Racheal.
