Young ladies between the ages of 14 and 30 years were spotted in the facility to access the quackery services provided by the abortion “Doctor ” during Kasapa News investigations.

The facility, made up of two smaller rooms built with mud. Inside the room are small size bed, some cooking utensils, rags and other dirty materials making the rooms stuffy also found in the room are abortion equipments and tools used by the abortion ” Doctor “.

At least two young ladies visits the facility daily to terminate their pregnancies. The ” doctor ” is well known by the youth in the Suhum Municipality, hence  high patronage .

He claims he has license to operate ,but because he has no money to build a standard facility to legally operate.

” I am pleading with you not to report this case to police because of my involvement, even though I have license to operate ,but because I don’t  have money to construct my own facility ,so I know I am operating illegally, so let the girl go to hospital for a scan to be done so that we all be sure that she is okay but I trust she is fine .When this case goes to court, I know I will be jailed not less than 25 years, but it is the victim who will be stigmatized in the Town. I have license ,but there are rules and regulations attached but I know I have breached the rules.”
