A young woman, Chinasa Odah has lost her life after trying to abort a pregnancy she had outside wedlock. According to reports, Chinasa, who was residing in the Inikiri Effum community of Ohakwu Local Government Area in Ebonyi State, took some abortion pills after discovering she had fallen pregnant for another man apart from her husband.
However, the pills caused her to bleed profusely until she died at one Sudan Hosptial in the area.
The 29-year-old mother of four was reportedly having an affair with another 25-year-old man, Monday Mgbada.
