A 26 years old lady identified as Chinazaekpere Uwadineke has allegedly abducted a six months old baby belonging to her boyfriend who she said never told her he was married, ABN TV reports.
The baby was later found dead in a gutter at Afara, Umuahia Local Government Area in Abia State.
She committed the act on Monday, 9th of March 2020 at about 1:45 pm.
According to the state Commissioner of Police, Etim Ene Okon who spoke to ABN TV, the command received a tip-off and immediately swung to action.
“A report was made that a six months old baby was missing and on investigation, it was discovered that the baby’s body was found dead in a gutter.
“It was made known to us that the culprit visited the compound of the deceased and found out that the mother left the child in the care of other older children.
“She went ahead to deceive the babysitter that the mother asked her to bring the child. The babysitter innocently handed the baby to her and along the line, we do not know what she did to the baby but the child was found dead in a gutter. We arrested the culprit and took the child away.
“She later confessed that she is a friend to the father of the deceased and they’ve been dating for sometimes now but the man didn’t tell her he is married with children.
“Out of provocation, she had to find a means of getting the child killed. Right now she is undergoing investigation and the dead child is in the morgue” the CP explained.
She also claimed that she has had a series of abortion for the married boyfriend who never revealed his true marital status to her.
