The police in Bayelsa State have arrested a 47-year-old man, Moses Otimba, for impregnating his wife’s younger sister, Joy Mathew, and killing the male child five days after birth.
Otimba was said to have asphyxiated the child to death and buried him in a shallow grave at a river bank.The suspect, an indigene of Ogbogoro community in Yenagoa Local Government Area of the state, reportedly executed the devilish act in connivance with the 19-year-old girl.
Amba said Joy, who claimed to be under the influence of ”some spirits”, disclosed the incident to her mother three months after the act. Angered by the development, Joy’s mother reported the matter to the police, which swung into action and arrested the suspects.
Otimba, in his confessional statement said he killed the baby boy because he was ashamed to tell his wife (Glory) and his mother-in-law. He admitted killing the baby with the consent of Joy, after discussing his predicament with her.
She gladly gave me the baby to do whatever I wanted to do. My wife was not aware. But somehow, I did not know what happened. I learnt Joy told her mother who alerted the police and we were arrested.
*This is so horrible and I wonder the shock the wife must have gone through to learn of this...KAIIIIIIIII.
