A medical doctor yesterday told an FCT High Court in Maitama
how an Abuja-based clergyman, Apostle Basil Princewill, gave a
14-year-old girl an abortion pill to terminate a pregnancy.
Princewill is facing a 4-count charge bordering on rape,
impersonation and attempt to cause abortion.
The clergyman is also alleged to have forcefully had sexual
intercourse with a 14-year-old girl, one Miss F. Iwuoha, between
July 27 and December 31, 2011 at Mountain Mover Ministry
International and his house at Nyanya, Abuja, without her consent
and impregnated her.
He was said to have given her drugs with a view to aborting a
pregnancy.
Princewill was also alleged to have, on or about January, 2012,
attempted to cause miscarriage on Favour when he gave her
drugs to take and abort the pregnancy, which resulted to her
bleeding.
The witness, Dr Felix Ogunbade of Fountainhead Medical Centre,
Mararaba, Nasarawa State, told the court at the resumed hearing
that “the examination conducted on Favour as of the time she
was brought to the clinic revealed that she was given an abortion
drug.”
The witness, who had earlier testified in the case as the third
prosecution witness, was recalled by the prosecution after the
charge was amended.
The case was filed by the police on June 4, 2012 with the
prosecution closing its case on December 9, 2016 after calling five
witnesses to prove its case, with the defence also closing its case
on May 24, 2017 having testified for himself without calling any
other witnesses.
The trial judge, Justice Husseini Baba-Yusuf, subsequently
adjourned the matter to March 27 for adoption of final written
addresses.
