Delta Police Arrest Mother for Allegedly Drowning 10-Month-Old Child in River
The Delta State Police Command has arrested a woman, Blessing Ibuku, for allegedly murdering her 10-month-old child, Prevail Jonathan, by throwing the baby into a river.
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.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
