The Nigerian police in Isiokolo, Ethiope-East Local Government Area of Delta State, have arrested a woman for flogging her one-year old baby boy to death with a cane in Kokori community.
Our correspondent gathered that the flogging was so severe that the little boy could not survive the beatings from the woman.
According to the woman’s neighbours and residents of the area, they described the lady as a frustrated woman, and are also accusing her of transferring aggression to the innocent child.
It was gathered that the woman became frustrated after the father of the child, a suspected internet fraudster, denied responsibility for her pregnancy. The woman had to bear the load of pregnancy all by herself until she delivered.
According to sources, anytime the lady sees the child, she feels irritated, remembering the ill treatment from the father, the suspected Yahoo boy.
On the fateful day, it was gathered that the woman transferred her aggression on the child and flogged him to death even though he did not do anything wrong.
Neighbours tried to rescue the child but it was too late as he died before they rushed him to the hospital.
