The Delta State Police Command has arrested a 25-year-old man, Godsgift Uweghwerhen, for allegedly flogging his three-year-old daughter to death in Aladja community, Udu Local Government Area of the state.
He reportedly flogged the baby who was said to have been sick for sometime with a cane and inflicted bodily injuries on her.
The suspect, it was gathered, committed the dastardly act on Wednesday after the child allegedly entered his neighbour’s apartment.
But he reportedly fled the scene immediately on noticing that the young child had given up the ghost as an aftermath of the merciless beating.
He, however ran out of luck at Ubogo community near Aladja as the Vigilante team in the area arrested him and consequently handed him over to operatives of the Nigeria Police in Ovwian/Aladja Division.
The Public Relations Officer for Delta State Command, Bright Edafe, confirmed the incident.
