On arrival at the hospital,
the source continued, they
were asked to deposit
certain amount of money and
get ready for a caesarean
operation. The worried but
poor expectant father did
not have that kind of money
and he made up his mind
after some fast thinking to
do it himself. “Afterall
operation is operation and
the same opening of the
abdomen and it bringing out
the content”.
He ordered the expectant
mother to get ready for them
to go home. Before long, he
went and got a taxi drop
which returned the couple to
their home and trust women,
she was reported to have
been tongue-lashing her
husband for prolonging her
labour pains. The angry man
not only descended on the
wife with the beatings of
her life but went ahead to
“operated on” her with a
sharp knife.
Despite the cry of the woman
for help, frightened
neighbours refused to come
for her rescue. Eventually,
the man performed the
operation but unfortunately
the baby gave up the ghost
as soon as her mother too
died as a result of the
assault.
The “courageous” man went
ahead and buried the baby in
the uncompleted property
they were living in a
makeshift batcher.
Thereafter, the man
“stitched” the stomach with
local thread and middle and
properly packaged the corpse
for the mortuary. But
unfortunately the curious
mortuary attendants were
taken aback when the
bereaved husband came alone
for such business which
according to them normally
accompany neighbours and
other sympathizers.
Based on this observation
and the suspect's strange
movement, they contacted the
police who wasted no time in
unraveling the facts of the
matter. Consequently, he was
arrested and locked up in
police cell while
investigations continues.
When the Police, Public
Relations Officer, Mr. Ben
Ugwuegbulam was contacted,
he refused to pick his
calls.### |
