A 30-year-old man, Joseph James has been arrested by police
in Akwa Ibom State for killing his four years old daughter, Glory James, and
throwing her corpse into a stream. Joseph took the girl to the stream in the
night when the mother was away.
The Commissioner of Police in Akwa Ibom State, Mr. Murtala
Mani, said on Wednesday that when Joseph got to the stream, he killed the girl
and threw her corpse into the water. Mani, who said this through the Police
Public Relations Officer in the state, Cordelia Nwawe, said the suspect had
owned up to the crime.
“The Akwa Ibom State Police Command has arrested a young man
who strangled his daughter and threw her corpse into a stream. Investigation is
ongoing,” she said.
Joseph, however, said, “I was sleeping and woke up around
4am. Something told me to take my daughter to the stream, where I killed her. I
did not know what really happened.”
