A Nigerian man became furious after the gender of his newborn baby was announced. The livid man smashed the head of the baby on the floor because of its gender.
The suspect identified as Ezekiel Anorue has been arrested by the Imo State Police Command after the incident.
A police source revealed that the dastardly act was exposed after the wife raised alarm when the child stopped breathing immediately the father hit her on the floor.
It was gathered that the suspect, Anorue, was angry that his wife had lied to him that the new baby will be a male child, which was what he had longed for in the family.
The wife, who spoke in tears, disclosed that she had to lie to her husband that she will be delivered of a male child because she was threatened so badly after her 3rd and 4th female children.
She said, “I had to lie to him so I could have peace of mind”.
The Nigerian man, Anorue, confessed to the crime:
“I really don’t know what came over me; I was so angry that I threw the baby on the floor.
What my wife told me was different from the result of the scan she claimed revealed we would have a baby boy.
I had to give her money to do the test at two different laboratories but she always came home with a result showing we would have a boy.
I had already renovated our house, bought a lot of things but when I got home it was a baby girl”.
