Pregnant woman loses baby after she was detained by Rivers State police on her way to hospital (Video)

Renowned journalist, Kofi Bartels, has accused the police in Rivers State of being responsible for the loss of his friend’s unborn baby.

Bartels, host of The MorningCrossfire on Nigeria Info FM, Port Harcourt, in a string of tweets on Thursday alleged that officers enforcing the lockdown in the state temporarily detained the pregnant woman.

According to the journalist, the officers said the governor instructed only those with a government permit to be allowed passage – resulting in her losing the baby after eventually reaching the hospital.

Bartels is appealing to Governor Nyesom Wike to have a second look at the criteria governing the passage of people.
