Amaraizu stated that the police had commenced investigation into the incident, adding that Dimbo was already cooperating with the police in the investigation.
The police spokesperson added, “The hitherto serene environment of the Royal Lodge located at Agbani in Nkanu West Local Government Area of Enugu State turned sour as the report of a mother killing her baby got into the ears of residents, which threw them into a sorrowful mood.
A statement from the Enugu State Police Public Relations Officer, Ebere Amaraizu, confirmed that the suspect killed the baby before her neighbours got to the scene.
According to the PPRO, when the neighbours of the suspect forced themselves into the room, they discovered that the suspect had already killed the baby.
