Catechist caught with dead body of pregnant girl he tried to abort
A shocking incident occurred in Benue State On Sunday evening, when a catechist was arrested with the dead body of a young girl he allegedly impregnated and attempted to abort.
The catechist, identified as Oliver Vershima, was assigned to work at St. Augustine Zone Jov Mbahura, Benue.
He was caught with the girl’s corpse and confessed that he was responsible for her pregnancy and tried to terminate it.
According to Kenneth Unieh who shared the story on social media, the girl, whose name was given as Martha Orban, died on Sunday morning before mass as a result of the abortion.
The catechist hid her body inside his room and planned to sneak it out of the village at night and escape.
However, his plan was foiled when he was nabbed by security operatives while trying to carry the body out of the village. He was later handed over to the parish priest for further investigation.
