A man believed to be 22-year-old, simply identified as Muyiwa, has allegedly killed his stepdaughter, Seyifunmi Oluwarotimi.
The incident happened on Wednesday in Akungba, Akoko South West Local Government Area of Ondo State.
A source (names withheld) told newsmen that the mother of the child discovered life-threatening wounds on Seyifunmi when she woke up on Thursday.
The source said, “Both the wife and husband are living together, but Muyiwa was said to have taken Seyifunmi outside the house around 2.00am to urinate”
“He has been doing that always just to avoid bed-wetting. This time when he returned with his step daughter this time, no one knew what happened exactly, but his wife raised alarm after she saw wounds all over her daughter’s body in the morning”
“Suspicion aroused when the husband couldn’t give an account of what happened to Seyifunmi”
The source added that the police were alerted by residents after the child was rushed to a nearby hospital where she was confirmed dead.
Meanwhile, the police are yet to make any statement on this development as at press time.
