A 30-year-old Man has been arrested by the Enugu State Police Command for murdering his neighbour’s 4-year-old daughter.

The Incident, which occurred at the Nsukka area of Enugu State was confirmed by the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Enugu Police Command, DSP Daniel Ndukwe.

He disclosed in a statement on Tuesday that “on August 18, 2024, around 10:30 pm, Police Operatives serving in the Nsukka Sector of the Enugu State Command’s Anti-Cultism Tactical Squad hastened to a compound at Orba Road in Nsukka Local Government Area, upon receiving a distress call alleging the murder of a 4-year-old girl.

“The Operatives consequently arrested one Nweke Chukwuemeka “m” aged 30, alleged to have gruesomely murdered the female child, Zinachukwu Ugwu, in cold blood while she was sleeping.

“The lifeless body of the child was taken to the hospital, confirmed dead, and deposited in the mortuary.

“Additionally, the knife used by the suspect to commit the crime, quantities of weeds suspected to be Indian hemp, and an object suspected to be a charm were recovered from him.”

Ndukwe further stated that “a preliminary investigation reveals that the suspect hails from Umuagu-Ozalla in Nkanu West Local Government Area, but resides in the said compound with the child’s parents and others.

“He initially attempted to attack other neighbours who resisted him and escaped before going into the victim’s apartment, where he saw the helpless child sleeping, and used the knife to cut through her throat.

“This was after the mother of the child had run out to take the other of her children to safety before coming back for the victim.”

He said the suspect confessed to the crime, claiming that he acted alone but under the influence of Indian hemp, methamphetamine (locally known as “Mkpuru-mmiri”), and Action Bitters alcoholic drink, which he consumed earlier.

“He also confessed to being a member of the Vikings Confraternity and that in 2022, while residing in Jos, Plateau State, he was involved in a cult clash during which he murdered a male member of the rival cult group.

“The suspect will be arraigned and prosecuted once investigations are concluded,” he stated.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Kanayo Uzuegbu has described the act as barbaric and unthinkable.

“He condoles the victim’s parents, siblings, and friends, assuring that everything possible will be done to secure justice for the innocent child.

“Hence, he orders the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the State CID Enugu to ensure that ongoing investigations are concluded, and the case prosecuted within record time.

“Moreover, the CP has urged the citizenry to, as much as possible, be conversant with the behavioural patterns of their neighbours to avert senseless incidents of this nature,” the police spokesman further stated.

Oh My God, This Is Heart Breaking 💔 CHA E!

Terrible!

Today, we still have misguided people who believe that the consumption of those substances is not bad. The substances have probably caused the young man mental issues.

When you raise a concern about the dangers rough people constitute in an area, you will be warned to mind your business. If you are proactive in reporting someone who is notorious, you will be called a snitch. But when the danger occurs, everyone acts suprised and caring.

Why does the media clearly show the faces of those who steal money but hide the faces of those who commit murder and rape?

Terrible!

We @ N.C BLOG is always available to publish all the bad news that is terrible to you guy's......

Subuhanallah. This is a mental issue. We Nigerians should learn to start reporting people with mental illness to the appropriate agency. I am very sure everyone around are just doing I don't care and watching him roaming around.

I pray God Almighty comfort Zinachukwu's parents and loved ones.

Mod should please delete the disturbing photos of the little princess.

the media just like when Nigerian police decides to carry out autopsy on a clear murder situation in which the murderer even openly confessed to but will never do such to the ones that really needed it.

Now that this idiot has taken enough illegal substance to carry out his evil heart desires on an innocent kid, I don't think he even needs a judge to sentence him before he is wasted.

Why? Effect of hard drugs. And he has even murdered someone before

Nigeria itself is mad
Rest in peace, lil sweetheart

Don't do meth.

God why all this bad news this morning

Biafrans and barbarism...

Haaaaaa

Eleribu ni eleyi oo

If he was married, his wife would have been blamed for this. According to idiotic nairaland Alfa malls; men don't hurt children, they watch helplessly while women inflict all sorts of harm on children. RIP poor baby, your only offense was coming into this world filled with dangerous violent men. May your assailant never go unpunished

Hmmmmm. What is really happening in the east. Crime like this deserves instant judgement. An eye for an eye

What the world 🌎 is turning into

He just cut this little girl life short

What a world 🌎 😢 😪

Why do people take actions like this?

Kill this idiot that bears my name, he is one of the useless Emekas we have in the world. May the soul of the little angel continue to rest in peace, Amen. Say no drugs!!!

Nawa

He is finished

bewla:
God why all this bad news this morning

Na Where Man Dey Work, Na Only There, Him Dey See Him Own Food, Take Chop, My BOSS.

RIP little Angel.
May God comfort your family.
That lunatic should be hanged or made to spend the rest of his miserable life in prison.
Just too sad.

This news is distorted.....

He was the one that called the police, no squad or whatever got any tip to apprehend him because he is confident they all know him

He never confessed to have acted alone, he called 3 of his accomplices and implicated his landlord with evidence of cash inducement through bank transfer

He was contacted to get 3 virgins for his clients for ritual, the client is a notorious money lender who use juju to make those he lend money to unable to pay back while he confiscates their properties and sell them off.

The deity he makes this sacrifice to is right there inside his compound behind his house, the fear here is that as a trouble maker and a mafian, he has a network of friends in the security and high profile dangerous men and women like him, this made him to boast to friends that's he won't stay more than a month in the police net.....thank God for this news showing that action is being taken

His popular guest house has been locked now and the community of the little girl he murder are out for him because enough is enough.....


Reporting from the testimony of an eye witness because I reside here in Taraba with one of the cousins to the father of the deceased

This is so heartless

Wickedness

My heart is aching

What is wrong with this world.

Oh goodness. I can only hope she was too deeply asleep to feel anything. How does a parent recover from this?

Oh God

Rest in peace little baby girl. Evil beings hovering up and down the earth killing people. May God deliver us.
