According to The
Nations, the suspect who is jobless and single, was said to have contacted
an herbalist in Ipe-Akoko for blood money. He was told to look for a baby’s
head.
It was gathered that the
girl was always in her grandmother’s care, whenever her mother, Bunmi, a
trader, was going to the market.
An eyewitness said: “On
Tuesday, Bunmi took her daughter to her mother-in-law but met her husband’s
elder brother at home. He promised to take care of the child, until her
grandmother returns.On her return from the market, Bunmi met her daughter’s body in
her brother-in-law’s room.
“The suspect ‘confessed’ to
family members that he killed the girl. He was nearly lynched by aggrieved
youths before the police rescued him.”
Police spokesman Femi
Joseph said the matter had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigative
Department (CID), Akure.
