Woman Throws Newborn Baby Into Gutter After Cheating on her Sick Husband
A housewife identified as Barkisu Sulaiman, who confessed to cheating on her sick husband and became pregnant has been arrested and handed over to security agents after she threw the newborn baby into a gutter.
Didactic Information Hut reports that Barkisu was arrested by residents of Karaworo-Lokoja and later handed over to Officers of the Kogi State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC. State Commandant, Paul Igweibuke, confirmed her arrest on Wednesday.
Barkisu’s arrest follows a tip-off from a woman in the Kabawa area of Lokoja, who is said to be her close confidante.
“Touched by the condition of the abandoned baby, her friend rushed to an elderly man in Karaworo-Lokoja and confessed to him the crime committed by her friend (Barkisu).
“She told the elderly man that her friend (Barkisu) had once mentioned that she was carrying a seven-month pregnancy for one of her ailing husband’s servants residing in Adankolo-Lokoja,” a resident of Karaworo-Lokoja, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said.
She also said that the alleged father of her friend’s baby, who is on the run, had denied responsibility for the pregnancy and advised her to terminate it.
Following this, residents took action against Barkisu and arrested her before handing her over to face the consequences of her gruesome crime.
