A woman in Bayelsa is being suspected of murder after reports that she took the life her own newborn baby.

27-year-old Erebi Amgba is said to have dumped the baby boy in a bucket of water and left him to drown.

The incident occurred in Kaima Community in the Kolokuma/Opokuma Local Government Area of the state just a few hours after her delivery.

Leadership reports:

Sources said the child was still covered in amniotic fluid at the time he was dumped in a bucket of water and left to drown.

LEADERSHIP gathered that the killer mother had in the last few weeks preceding the incident, been bombarded with queries about her strange pregnant appearance but had denied that she was pregnant.

A source in the community claimed that they had earlier observed that Amgba in the last few months always tied scarves around her waist to cover any signs of pregnancy.

The source who simply gave his name as Tommy, said the girl, who was living with her grandfather, gave birth to the child in her house along the Timivis Hotel road close to the local government council headquarters.

“She gave birth to the child in the middle of the night and used a knife to slash the placenta then dumped the child in a bucket of water to die but nemesis caught up with her when she was too weak to push out the remaining part of the placenta.

“The cry of the child also attracted a neighbour who raised the alarm, which led to the discovery and a nurse was invited to help. It was the nurse who induced delivery which later allowed the killer mother to push out the remaining placenta,” Tommy added.
