The Evil Face Of A Heartless Mother Who Killed Her Day Old Baby

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.
Ordinarily, the safe delivery of the
innocent baby would have been
considered a welcome Christmas gift
from God in the home of any of the
uncountable number of women,
who are eager to experience the joy
of motherhood, but cannot do so
either through natural conception or
IVF and are therefore compelled to
go to lengths to adopt babies they
lovingly nurture and raise as their
own. But this mother from hell
chose the route of infamy as the
devil egged her on and 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.
At the headquarters of the State
Criminal Investigation Department,
Ebonyi State Police Command,
where she is being held, Otu spoke
with Sunday Sun.
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.”
The Assistant Commissioner of
Police in-charge of SCID, Mrs.
Augustina Ogbodo informed Sunday
Sun the police recovered the corpse
of the baby, and added that the
suspect would be charged to court
soon for the m****r of the baby girl.
