A man in Mbangur, Benue State, who killed his 9 months old daughter on Tuesday, has been apprehended as he claimed he was directed by God to carry out the act.
It was gathered that the suspect identified as John Depuun, seized the baby from his wife and took her to a bush where he killed her. The suspect was later dragged to the police station by his neighbors and other villagers. .
Depuun admitted to killing the baby during interrogation, but said he did as instructed by God. According to him: “It is my sheep and I decided to sacrifice it to God as demanded of me. .
However, his family alleged his change in attitude in recent days.
I have not laid my hands on anyone's child and as such, should not be condemned.” He also denied speculations that he is battling mental illness.
They revealed that he had informed them of his decision to deepen his involvement in the Confraternity of the Most Holy Rosary, a society in the Catholic church.
