The Delta State Police Command, on Thursday, paraded a 24-year-old woman, Sofia Nkwo, for killing her one-year-old son.
Parading the suspect at the police headquarters in Asaba, the Delta State capital, the Commissioner of Police, Mr Abaniwonda Olufemi, condemned the evil act perpetrated by the woman.
According to him, “On April 28, 2024, a case of infanticide was reported at Oleh Division, that a suspect named Sofia Nkwor, 24, from Isoko South LGA, dumped her child of one year and four months old in a well along the road in Araya community Isoko South LGA.
“Children who went to play around the tree discovered the abandoned child floating on the well. The mother, Sofia Nkwor, was immediately arrested and she stated that she dumped the child on April 26, 2024.
Confessing to the crime, Nkwor said she killed her son because she couldn’t care for the child again as the father rejected the child.
“I killed him because I can’t cater for him again since the father has long rejected him,” she said.
