He said the suspects, aged 18, 19 and 43, conspired to commit the crime on different occasions in the Oranyan area of Ibadan in June.

The commandant said the oldest of the trio, a commercial driver, took the victim to an unlicensed 23-year-old nurse to carry out the abortion, adding that she had also been arrested. (NAN)
