According to Daily Independent, the incident happened in Onicha Uboma
Autonomous Community, Imo State. The woman, Ifeoma, has allegedly
killed her one-year-old baby, plugged out her eyes and drank her blood,
inside her husband’s shop.
It was gathered that her husband, Azubuike Emedom, left his baby in
the custody of his wife and embarked on a business trip, only to return
the next morning to find out that the mother and child we’re missing.
When he got to the shop, he discovered that the shop was locked from the
inside.
After repeated knocks, he was said to have broke down the door, only
to find Ifeoma inside with blood on her mouth and the baby wrapped in
blood stained cloth. He uncovered the baby and discovered that she had
died, with her eye balls plucked out. Her hands and legs were also
broken.
One of the community leaders alleged that Ifeoma is of a marine
spirit. His words: “I believe she used this child for sacrifices, she
sucked the blood of the child because by the time we caught her, her
mouth was full of blood. She killed the baby intentionally.
She always renders sacrifice to their gods in the river. Some months
ago, she attempted to kill a woman from our community. She injured the
woman with a knife. Confirming the news, DSp Andrew Enwerem, the Police
Public Relation Officer of the Imo Police Command, said investigations
were on going.
