Operatives of the Nigerian Police in Isiokolo, Ethiope-East Local Government Area of Delta State, have arrested a woman for beating her one year old baby boy to death with a cane.
The incident occurred in Kokori community.
It was gathered that the beating was so severe that the little boy could not survive the beatings from the woman.
Neighbours and residents of the area described the lady as a frustrated woman, and are accusing her of transferring aggression to the innocent child.
It was learnt 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 beat 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.
As at the time of filing this report, the Delta State Police Command has yet to comment on the development.
