The direct complaint was filed by Mrs Victoria Okoduwa, the Kwara Chairperson of International Federation of Female Lawyer.
She said that Ibrahim impregnated a woman (name withheld) and lured her to a patent medicine store at Isale Aluko owned by Adeyinka for an abortion.
She alleged that Ibrahim also admitted that he took the victim to Adeyinka, who administered some drugs and injection on her which resulted in the pregnancy termination.
