Bizarre! Man Hits Newborn Baby on the Floor Over Gender

A 49-year-old man, Ezekiel Anorue, have killed his newborn baby girl over gender issues in Imo State.

Ezekiel’s wife gave birth to the fifth child which was the fifth female child he was having with his wife and reacted violently by throwing the baby on the ground which killed her instantly.

The men of the Imo State Police Command arrested him and stated that the crime will attract life imprisonment if tried and found guilty in the Court.

The wife who raised alarm after the baby stopped breathing when her father hit her on the ground stated that she lied to have peace of mind.

The wife, who spoke in tears, disclosed that she had to lie to her husband that she will be delivered of a male child because she was threatened so badly after her 3rd and 4th female children.

She said, “I had to lie to him so I could have peace of mind”.

The suspect, Anorue, confessed to the crime: “I really don’t know what came over me; I was so angry that I threw the baby on the floor.

What my wife told me was different from the result of the scan she claimed revealed we would have a baby boy.

I had to give her money to do the test at two different laboratories but she always came home with a result showing we would have a boy.

I had already renovated our house, bought a lot of things but when I got home it was a baby girl”.

“We already had four girls and I was so happy when she told me we will have a male child but it turned to be female.

”Speaking on the strength of the report, the Imo State Public Relations Officer said the suspect will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.
