He spoke in a heartbreaking video shared on Instagram by Stanley Ontop who identified himself as a human rights activist.

Onyekachi said he lives in Owerri, Imo state, and that his wife and child died during the medical procedure in the labour room.

He said:

"When I brought my wife to the hospital when she was in labour, the doctor said he needed to carry out an operation because she was bleeding. I was in the theatre because I signed. She has to call another doctor to come and operate her. They were using phone, looking how to operate from YouTube. In the course of that, I lost my wife and my baby."

Stanley said they were at the Imo state police command to report the matter. He wondered why a doctor would be using YouTube videos to operate on a human being.

Stanley wrote:

"I'm currently in Owerrilmo state handling a severe case of alleged mu*der. One quack hospital in Owerri name withheld, was performing surgery on a pregnant woman through the help of YOUTUBE. The woman and her child dled in the process because the doctors and nurses were quack. The case was reported to my office in Asaba and we swung into action. I am live in Owerri now with my team, Justice must be served.. more update coming…"
