One Miss Elohoh, said to be a plantain seller allegedly killed her newborn baby boy hours after delivery on Monday, November 27.
Elohoh, said to be in her late 20s, resides with her mother
and siblings at No 1 omohwovo street, Iwhrekpokpo in Ughelli North,
Delta State. Below is the report posted on Facebook:
Report has it that she put to bed a handsome baby boy late
in the evening of Monday, in her house without aid or assistance from
neighbor’s or midwife. But the cry of the baby attracted the attention
of one of the neighbor’s, who called on others to share the good news.
On arrival they saw that the door was locked and Miss Elohoh refused to
open the door, but on the persistence of one of her siblings, she opened
the door.
The kind hearted neighbor did a marathon in getting some of
the needed materials, like cloths and food for the baby and mother
since she didn't buy any. Jubilation was agog with the arrival of the
bouncing baby boy.
After the celebration, everyone went home leaving Elohoh
and one of her siblings at home, since their mom was not home that day,
the hopes that they'd check on her the following morning.
Thr following day, the neighbors showed up to see how
Elohoh and her baby were doing, only to find out that there was no baby
anywhere.
They asked Elohoh about the child and she claimed that the
child's father came late in the night and took the baby away, having
noticed that the child was not breathing well.
The neighbors could not believe the story Elohoh gave and decided to interrogate her, she held on to the same story until one of them suggested that they ask her sibling what actually happened to the child.
And now this is the story as told by him. He said late in
the night when everyone was gone, Elohor boiled water and forced it on
the child to kill him but she ended up scalding the baby's entire mouth
of the day old child.
As If that was not enough, when the child defied death, she
took a rag and tied it around the child's nose and mouth which
suffocated the child. When she noticed that the child was dead she took
the body and put him in a sack which had trash in it, including plantain
peels then gave it to an insane man to throw off early in the morning
as refuse.
On hearing this, the whole neighborhood was filled with
sadness of this evil act done by this woman. A search was conducted at
all the refuse dumps within the area. Finally the corpse of the child
was found, with several bruises, confirming what her brother told them.
The woman has been handed over to security agents at B division of the police Force for further investigation.
She has refused to name who impregnated her, also neither her mother nor father has shown up yet.
