One Mr. Joseph Ibang James, aged 38, has been arrested the
Akwa Ibom State Police Command for allegedly strangulating his 4-year-old
daughter to death. According to him a mysterious power forced him to commit the
act.
The man who a native of Ibiaku-Ikot Udom confessed to the
police that the act was carried out after he ate a food prepared by his mother.
His confession: “Suddenly, something just entered into me
and urged me to kill my daughter who was fast asleep. I responded immediately
and strangulated the girl and buried her by the side of a river close to our
house.
“It was after I had killed her that my eyes became clear and
I began to understand that I had committed a grievous offence. As I got home,
my mother asked me the whereabouts of the girl. When I could not explain, she
raised alarm and alerted the neighbourhood and from there, the police was
invited to arrest me.
“I do not know what got into me. I regret everything.”
Nevertheless, the state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Murtala
Mani, speaking via the Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Delia Nwawe,
stressed that Ibanga will be charged according to the law for his heinous crime
to face the consequences of his crime.
Similarly, the Command also arrested one Victor Esin Nyak
for supposedly cutting off the head of his uncle, Rev. Esin Andang, after a
quarrel.
Mani said the case was still being investigated to unearth
the immediate and remote cause of the ugly development.
Meanwhile, the suspect, Victor Esin has confessed to the
crime attributing his act to provocation as his uncle was allegedly a cog in
the wheel of his progress.
