Evil world,Mother KillsHer Baby By Forcing Him ToDrink Insecticide In Cross River

Residents of Atimbo community in
Calabar, Cross River State were thrown
into mourning over the death of a one-
year-three-months-old baby boy who
was allegedly killed by his mother.
20-year-old Ikwo Udoh Bob, was said to have killed her baby boy by forcing
him to drink a poisonous substance
suspected to be insecticide in the early
hours of Friday.
Udoh Bob was said to have had a fall
out with the man suspected to be responsible for her pregnancy before
the baby was born and was alleged to
have told some close friends that she
wanted to have an abortion.
The Sun reports: According to the neighbours’
accounts, the young mother was
piqued that she was abandoned by her
lover-boy at the most critical moment
of her life even when she pleaded with
the man to financially support her after delivery of the baby.
Frustrated that the alleged father of the
baby failed to provide financial support
for the upkeep of the infant after
delivery, Ikwo allegedly killed her
young son. Speaking to our correspondent in tears,
the father of the young woman, Mr.
Udoh Bob, said, “Yesterday was the
second time my daughter attempted to
kill the boy, named Victor.”
Narrating the incident, Bob, who is a timber dealer and a native of Eket in
Akwa Ibom State, said in an emotion-
laden tone, “I left the house in the
morning on that Friday without sensing
any ominous sign that my daughter
was hatching such an evil plan. I don’t know what to tell you now but I
want to believe that God knows the
whole thing. Before I left the house in
the morning yesterday, the boy called
me daddy as usual and waved at me. I
waved back only to return and was told he was dead. I took over the
responsibility of caring for the mother
and child after the young man who
impregnated her denied her and ran
away,” he said in an emotion-laden
tone.” He recalled that there was a day he
noticed the boy foaming from the
mouth and he quickly gave him palm
oil to drink, an act, which, he said,
neutralized the effect of the poison,
adding, “Now that this has happened, I believe she attempted to kill the boy
then, but God did not allow it.”
