Mother Arrested For Throwing Child Into Delta River

Ms. Blessing Ibuku, a young woman, was among over 30 suspects paraded by the Delta State Police Command on Tuesday for involvement in crimes such as robbery, kidnapping, cultism, and murder.

The police also recovered 150 weapons, including 32 AK-47 rifles.

During a briefing at the command’s headquarters in Asaba, the state Commissioner of Police, Abaniwonda Olufemi, disclosed that Ibuku was arrested for killing her 10-month-old baby, Prevail Jonathan, by throwing the child into a community river after being mocked for being fatherless.

Olufemi added that these arrests and recoveries are part of the command’s intensified efforts to combat crime since he assumed office as the 22nd Commissioner of Police in February 2024.

“These suspects were arrested in the past month. While we have faced challenges, the support of other security agencies, stakeholders, and the good people of Delta State has enabled us to restore peace to a reasonable extent,” he said.

One of the cases presented involved the tragic death of a 10-month-old baby, Prevail Jonathan, who was reported missing on December 4, 2024.

The police later recovered the baby’s lifeless body from the Aviara community river. During the investigation, the mother, Blessing Ibuku, confessed to throwing her child into the river on November 31, 2024. She claimed she acted under pressure after being mocked by friends for the child being fatherless.

Ibuku is currently in custody as investigations continue.
