The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a 15-year-old girl for the murder of a 6-month-old girl under her care.
The suspect, Amaka, a nanny who gave a graphic account of how she killed the six-month-old baby she was taking care of, said the order to kill her came from a spiritual realm but said she regretted killing her.
According to her,
” I was ordered to conjure her name four times and she died instantly”.
Amaka, 15, who was employed by the parents of the victim as a house help, said her journey of blood began when she was in the primary school in Agulu, Anambra State, where a friend of hers offered her biscuits and sweets, and she appeared in a spiritual realm believed to be a witchcraft coven.
She said her life turned upside down as she started seeing strange things and attending secret meetings in the spiritual realm while others were sleeping.
She said: “My name is Chiamaka Odo. I am 15 years old from Anambra State. When I was in primary school, one of my friends, Ameri, gave me biscuits and sweets during lunch break. After eating the biscuits in the night, I found myself in a place where I met so many people who welcomed me and I started attending meetings with them in the spiritual realm.
“When I was coming to Lagos, my group said I should bring the blood, but I said no because I didn’t want to spill human blood. We had a meeting and I begged them to send me to do another thing, but they asked what I wanted. I told them I didn’t want to shed any blood, but I could do any other thing.
“They asked me what I was going to do in Lagos and I told them that I would be doing nanny work. So, on the night of March 5, they asked me to bring the baby I was looking after and I said I wasn’t going to bring the baby. And they threatened to strangle me if I didn’t bring the baby. I refused to bring the baby and begged them not to push me to kill the child, but they didn’t agree. So, they gave me a baby bath and said I should call the baby four times. Out of fear I called the baby’s name four times and his blood filled the bath. That was what happened”.
She, however, warned parents to be careful who they employed as domestic staff and that children should stop accepting gift items, especially food, candies, and drinks from schoolmates as many of them were on assignment to initiate more people into the demonic kingdom.
The Lagos State Police Commissioner, Abiodun Alabi, who paraded the suspect, said 230 criminals were arrested in various parts of the state. He said 60 of them were arrested for murder, while 62 others were nabbed for robbery.
