The Delta state Police Command has arrestedan aggrieved woman whoreportedly dumped her six-month old baby at a refuse site over a fight with her husband.
The woman who is identified as Annabel Owhoghovo, of Owohelogbo community Isoko axis in Delta State, on Friday,October 9, allegedly dumped her six-month-old baby at a refuse site after having a quarrel with her husband.
According to reliable sources, the quarrel had degenerated into physical combat when her husband returned from work on Thursday and asked his wife to massage his feet.
The woman, who was reluctant to carry out the task, was alleged to have used abusive words on her husband, which led to heated exchange of words and physical assault.
The fight was said to have continued on Friday morningafter some neighbours made moves to settle the dispute. She was, however, said to have told her husband that she was visiting her mother in Abraka, only for her to allegedly dump the baby on a waste dump midway.
The cry of the baby was said to have called the attention of passersby, who took the baby to a police station in the community.
The Police Public Relations Officer of the state command, Mrs. Celestina Kalu, confirmed to our correspondent that the woman had been arrested.
