January 4, 2015

According
to Sunday Sun, Ugochukwu gave birth to her daughter on December 21st
and was discharged the next day. On getting to her house,
Ugochukwu said she was frustrated and was pushed to killing her baby after
the man who impregnated her denied the pregnancy.

“I killed my one-day old baby girl intentionally because I don’t have
N500 for her medical treatment. I want to be free lady. I didn’t have
any intention to get pregnant. I was impregnated by one man called
Monday, a native of Ozizza Afikpo North LGA. But later he refused to
accept the pregnancy and I didn’t plan for it. I am not ready to marry; I
want to be a free lady. I had to strangle the baby girl and put the
corpse in a black polythene bag and dumped it along Ndibe beach road,
near the bush. I don’t regret killing my baby because nobody was
responsible for her upkeep.” she told police. The police say she will soon be charged to court.
