Ugochukwu
Otu, 25, (pictured above), gave birth to her daughter on December 21st and was
discharged the next day. According to her she 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.” she told police. The police say she will soon
be charged to court.
