Enugu State Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Ammani, has ordered an investigation into the case of alleged conspiracy and murder of a newborn male child.

 

The child was killed by his mother, one Ada Joy Okonkwo aged 18, and her mother, one Christiana Okonkwo of about 60 years old.

Ammani ordered the State Criminal Intelligence and Investigation Department (SCIID) Enugu to thoroughly investigate the case which took place at Olocha-Adogba in Awgu community of Awgu L.G.A. on November 7.

A statement released by the spokesperson of the state police command, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, says preliminary investigation shows that the said mother of the newborn child used a kitchen knife to stab the child to death, following the counseling of her mother, moments after she was delivered of the baby at home.

Ndukwe said the child was taken to the hospital and confirmed dead by the doctors on duty, while the corpse was deposited in the mortuary for preservation and autopsy.

The police PRO mentioned that the state Commissioner of police has called on citizens of the community, particularly the women who carried out a peaceful demonstration to express their disgust over the act, to maintain peace, and avoid acts that could lead to the breakdown of law and order in the community.
