FATHER WALK MAJESTICALLY TO POLICE STATION AFTER HE SLAUGHTERED HIS 9-MONTH-OLD BABY
A Benue father, identified as John Depuun has been arrested after he killed his daughter to offer as a “sacrificial lamb” to God.
The suspect was pictured walking majestically to the police station, where he was said to be detained.
The father, who allegedly snatched his infant daughter from his wife and took her to a bush in Mbangur, Tse-Agberagba, Konshisha LGA, Benue state, where he killed her, confessed to the crime, saying he did it as directed by God.
He said, “It is my sheep and I decided to sacrifice it to God as demanded of me. I have not laid my hands on anyone’s child and as such, should not be condemned.”
Family members alleged that he is mentally unstable but he has denied that.
