A three-year-old girl died after her 25-year-old father severely flogged her for entering a neighbor’s room.
Delta State police in Nigeria have arrested the young father, identified as Godsgift Uweghwerhen, and he is cooperating with their investigations.
The suspect committed the heinous crime in the Aladja community of the state’s Udu Local Government Area.
“It was reported that Uweghwerhen was at home with his family members and their neighbors when he saw his daughter emerge from one of his neighbors’ rooms.”
Uweghwerhen, enraged by his daughter’s actions, pounced on her and beat her with a cane, inflicting injuries on the victim’s body.
“However, the three-year-old girl was said to have died as a result of the beating, and when he realized the gravity of his actions, he fled the scene.”
“Luck ran out of the victim’s father when vigilantes arrested him in Ubogo community and handed him over to police officers in Ovwian/Aladja Division,” according to pulse.ng.
