September 11, 2017 – Police Arrest Father Who Killed Daughter For Ritual In Abakaliki Ebonyi State
The Ebonyi state Police Command today confirmed the arrest of a 30-year-old man suspected to have killed his two-year-old daughter in his farm.
The command’s spokesperson, ASP Loveth Odah, told NAN in Abakaliki that the corpse of the girl had been taken to Mgbo Hospital morgue.
Odah said that investigations into the matter had commenced.
She said that the suspect, a native of Ukwu-Agba Mgbo in Ohaukwu Local Government Area of the state, would be arraigned immediately the police completed investigation into the matter.
“The act is condemnable and more regrettable is the high rate of brutal killings in Ebonyi.
“The suspect will soon be arraigned,’’ she said.
Odah added that the command would bring to book all perpetrators of heinous acts in the state.
A source close to the family told NAN on the condition of anonymity that the suspect killed his daughter in his farm on Sept.6 and the act was detected by a good citizen.
“The good citizen reported the matter to the Ohaukwu Police Division which arrested (the man) and recovered the girl’s corpse.
“The family and the community suspect that the act was for ritual purposes because he used his machete to cut the girl’s right leg.
“The act shocked and threw the community into serious mourning because it was its first time of witnessing such an act,” he said.

i guess he made enough money to enter New York stock exchange
Lazy man who wants money that falls like manna! Chinua Achebe says “Do not kill a child that calls you father” Yet you murdered your own child in cold blood. And you think her blood won’t fish you out?
Please God take this kind father farther from human beings. Tufiakwa!!!
Dis is so disheartened. Just bcos of money,he killed his daughter for rituals. May God punish him,stupid diabolical father.
The reason why this kind of crime triumph in Nigeria is because none of these criminals has never been sentenced to death. If this idiot father had witnessed other criminals facing public execution, he might have thought twice about this evil act. I have said it before we have to kill in order to stop crime. Most of these bastard are glad to see Nigeria cops coming to their rescue because it is easier for them to bribe their way out. Wasted Country!.
