Father Who Buried Baby Daughter Alive Arrested; The Baby Survived With Neck Injury
Jan 22, 2013 – Baby Girl Buried Alive By Her Father In Asaba, Delta State Survived With Neck Injury – Father Arrested
Do you remember the story of a baby that was rescued by a vigilant community member we shared with you yesterday? if you missed it please read it here.
Initial report stated that it happened in Lagos but according to investigations carried out, it actually happened in Asaba, Delta state.
Nigerian Police officials have concluded their investigation and it revealed that the baby girl was actually buried alive by her own father.
This mishap happened in Asaba, Delta state, Nigeria on Saturday.
Mr Macaulay Onitcha is the father of the above baby.
The 25-year-old labourer who claimed he is unhappy with his wife after she allegedly refused to sleep with him committed this ungodly act.
The 4-month-old baby girl named Edna Macaulay was buried in a shallow grave dug by her own father on Saturday at Ekurudu Street Kokori.
Fortunately for little Edna, a good Samaritan who witnessed Edna’s father burying her rescued the girl.
Mr Saturday Ekama who reported the man to the police said he rescued the baby girl while her father was marching the shallow grave.
The good samaritan suffered Machete cuts from the baby’s father as he was trying to rescue the baby girl.
Below is a confirmation statement from Delta State police spokesman, Mr Muk:
“When the child was exhumed alive, she had neck injury. Currently, she is undergoing treatment at that Saint Francis Hospital, Okapra Inland while the suspect is currently assisting the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, Asaba in their investigations,”
Oh God have mercy. Imagine a father burying his own blood baby.

No man needs to be shot in the head for doing that to that poor baby no child should be done like that. When there is people who can’t have kids that would do anything to have one.

That is not a 4 month old baby. Why was the story 2 days ago that it was a newborn now they’re saying it’s 4 months. That baby looks fresh out of the womb just based on the way it’s skin tone is and the umbilical cord was still attached when they took the baby out of the ground.
