A 25-year-old woman in Ebonyi State,
Ugochukwu Otu, has done the abominable by
killing her one-day baby girl soon after she
was discharged from a maternity home.
Otu did it so that she would be free to live
her life as she pleases and avoid the
maternal responsibility of caring for the
baby. The horrific act was committed on
December 22, 2014 in Enohia Nkalu Afikpo
North Local Government Area, Ebonyi State.
She killed the baby, put her dead body in a
black polyethylene bag and dumped it in a
bush near Ndibe beach road in her area.
As Sunday Sun learnt from the Ebonyi State
Police Commissioner, Maigari Dikko, nemesis
caught up with her when neighbours began
asking her about the baby.
Realising that providence had put the spot
light on her secret, Out confessed her evil
deed and took the people to the where she
dumped the baby. Shocked youths in the
community then trooped to a nearby a police
station to report the matter and she was
arrested.
Showing no remorse, Otu said: “I killed
my one-day old baby girl intentionally
because I don’t have N500 for her
medical treatment. I want to be free
lady. I didn’t have any intention to get
pregnant. I was impregnated by one
man called Monday, a native of Ozizza
Afikpo North LGA. But later he refused
to accept the pregnancy and I didn’t
plan for it. I am not ready to marry; I
want to be a free lady. I had to strangle
the baby girl and put the corpse in a
black polythene bag and dumped it
along Ndibe beach road, near the bush.
I don’t regret killing my baby because
nobody was responsible for her
upkeep.”
