Delta State Commissioner of Police, Abaniwonda Olufemi, revealed the shocking incident during a press briefing in Asaba on Tuesday, December 17.
According to him, the case was first reported to the police on December 4, 2024, as a missing child situation. While at the station with the suspect, police received a call that a child’s body had been discovered floating in the Aviara community river.
The child’s remains were brought to the station and later identified as the missing baby, Prevail Jonathan.
During interrogation, Blessing confessed to the crime, admitting that she drowned her child because friends and peers mocked her, claiming the baby had no father.
The Commissioner assured the public that the suspect would face justice and will be arraigned in court soon.
