BENIN – At a flat in Sam Enobakhare Crescent, off St. Saviour Road, Benin, a Policeman (names witheld), allegedly killed his 19-month-old baby after battering his wife in Benin, this weekend.
The wife reveals that last Tuesday they were at home when her husband’s countenance suddenly changed and when she tried to find out why, he pounced on her.
Dr. Jolly Nosakhare Iguma, the Chief Medical Director of Jonos Medical Clinic where the baby was taken to, said “On close examination the baby was pale, yellowish, with tooth bite injuries on his face.”
“Since the baby is not old enough to fight with any person, I wondered who bit the baby. However, if he was brought in early enough, the baby would have been transfused with blood. He may have died of jaundice.”
When newsmen visited the residence last weekend, it was deserted as neighbours claimed not to have seen any of its occupants in the past few days.
Thorough investigation is still going on pertaining this case because obviously some things are not clear.
