Information reaching Naija News House says that Quack Doctor Removes Ovaries Of Teenager During Appendix Surgery In Benue, Victim May Never Bear A Child
A teenager, Dooyum Ianna, is currently facing a health crisis that may eventually claim her life after being operated upon by a quack doctor in Benue State.
The 18-year-old woman, who first had her menstruation at the age of 14, started experiencing abdominal pain each time her period came by the time she was 16 in May 2019.
Worried by the situation, her father, 72-year-old Kparevfa Lanna, took her to an acclaimed medical doctor named Agber Kwende at Gemanen Health Clinic, Ageraga, in the Gaav Konshisha Local Government Area of Benue State, for immediate treatment.
But the events that soon followedcompounded their misery rather than bring reprieve to the girl and her family.
The doctor, who is a quack, removed the girl’s ovaries and damaged other vital organs in her reproductive system, leaving her with a bigger crisis to deal with after that period.

More than two years after that terrible experience, Dooyum , who is a Senior Secondary School 1 pupil of Rose Asase College, Gboko East, Benue State, has been experiencing absence of menstruation and constantly falling ill.
Recent diagnoses and scans revealed that her fallopian tube was already shrinking. She may never be able to conceive, the results showed.
Speaking with SaharaReporters on Thursday, Dooyum said the situation has affected her education and pushed her into depression.
She disclosed that constant headache and general weakness of the body has been her lot since Kwende carried out the surgery on her.
“I feel sick all the time. Apart from headache, I still experience abdominal pain.
“My education has been affected also. I feel sad all the time. I cannot have kids in the future, so what is my essence in life. I feel like ending it,” she said.
Narrating how the situation has affected the entire family, her father told SaharaReporters that he had spent over N100,000 trying to get a solution for his daughter’s health condition without luck.
According to him, efforts to get justice for his child and have the quack doctor punished for his negligence have been frustrated by the police, who granted him bail and have been siding with him, allegedly.
“All the time we have gone back to the quack doctor to complain of the damage he had done, he chased us away.
“We have been to more than four hospitals looking for solution and they keep telling us that her ovaries had been removed.
“After we reported the matter to the police, the doctor was briefly arrested but released the following day.
“Since that period, the police have not been clear on the way forward.
“We want justice for our daughter. Her future has been affected, she must be compensated for what the man did to her,” Mr Ianna, a farmer, said.
When contacted by our correspondent, the doctor, Kwende, refused to comment on the issue.
Though a formal complaint was lodged at the Gboko Central Police Station, the state command had yet to initiate an investigation into the issue.
As a result, the teenager and her family have been left to live with the misery and pain.
