Father Who Buried His Own New Born Baby Alive Arrested

This mishap happened in Asaba, Delta state, Nigeria on Saturday.

Mr Macaulay Onitcha is the father of the above baby. The 25-year-old labourer who claimed he is unhappy with his wife after she allegedly refused to sleep with him committed this ungodly act.

The 4-month-old baby girl named Edna Macaulay was buried in a shallow grave dug by her own father on Saturday at Ekurudu Street Kokori.

Fortunately for little Edna, a good Samaritan who witnessed Edna’s father burying her rescued the girl.

Mr Saturday Ekama who reported the man to the police said he rescued the baby girl while her father was marching the shallow grave.

The good samaritan suffered Machete cuts from the baby’s father as he was trying to rescue the baby girl.

Below is a confirmation statement from Delta State police spokesman, Mr Muk:

“When the child was exhumed alive, she had neck injury. Currently, she is undergoing treatment at that Saint Francis Hospital, Okapra Inland while the suspect is currently assisting the State Criminal Investigation

Department, SCID, Asaba in their investigations,”

Oh God have mercy. Imagine a father burying his own blood baby.
