The police have 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 Delta State.
He reportedly flogged the baby who was said to have been sick for sometime with a cane and inflicted bodily injuries on her.
It was gathered that the suspect committed the dastardly act on Wednesday after the child allegedly entered his neighbour’s apartment.
He reportedly fled the scene immediately on noticing that the young child had given up the ghost as an aftermath of the merciless beating.
However, he was arrested by the Vigilante team in Ubogo community near Aladja and was handed over to operatives of the Nigeria Police in Ovwian/Aladja Division.
When contacted, the Public Relations Officer for Delta State Command, Bright Edafe, confirmed the incident.
