Benue State Police Command has apprehended a
23- year old mother, Joy Iember Iorzua for allegedly killing and dumping her
two- day old baby boy, at the River Ujiiragbo, in Gwer local government area of
the state.
Saturday Vanguard gathered that the suspect
was arrested at Mbasa-Mbakine Gee council ward by members of the vigilante
group operating in the community who handed her over to the Police in Aliade,
the local government headquaters.
According to our source, the suspect who
lived along Ayua-Num street, in Aliade town, was delivered of the baby a week
ago and two days later, she allegedly strangled the innocent baby to death.
After killing the baby, she wrapped his
remains in a polythene bag, put him in a carton and dumped it at the popular
Ujiiragbo River.
The dastardly killing was however exposed
when members of the vigilante group on patrol in the area, got wind of her
action and her intention to escape from the community for fear of being
apprehended.
They trailed and arrested her after which
angry members of her community descended heavily on her before handing her over
to the Police at Aliade.
The truth is that this is not the first time
this type of allegation is being leveled against her, and that was what
prompted the angry reaction of the people who were outraged by her action”.
When contacted, the Divisional Police
Officer, DPO, for Aliade, Suprintendent of Police Bitrus Madani who confirmed
the arrest, disclosed however that the suspect had been transferred to the
state command headquarters for further interrogation.
Madani who expressed dismay at the increasing
crime wave in the local government area vowed that the Police would not relent
in its task of ensuring the safety of lives and property of the people in the
area.
