An unremorseful 25 year old woman ,Ugochukwu Otu, has narrated to the police how she snuffed life out of her one day old baby girl.
Ugochukwu who is from Enohia Nkalu Afikpo North Local Government Area, Ebonyi State said she over her desire to be free from the burden of motherhood.
Ugochukwu while confessing 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 calledMonday, 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.
