DAMN!! Nigerian Soldier (RTD) Explains Why he Clubbed 14 Year Old Daughter To Death.
John 72, from Jesse, Warri in Delta State was discharged from the Nigeria Army in 1999 as a corporal. He has 11 children from three wives. Two of the wives and seven children are in Jesse, while he resides at 28 Adewale Street, Iba New Site, Ojo, Lagos with the youngest wife, Comfort and four children in a two-room apartment.
Last Tuesday,
what started as minor family quarrel turned fatal. On that fateful
evening, while Comfort, Glory and the three other children were
preparing for evening church service, it was alleged that John came to
the front of their compound and sat down. As his family members wanted
to leave for church, it was further alleged that he blocked the entrance
and said they won’t go because they lack the character of good
Christians.
According to
John, his daughter Glory, a secondary school student didn’t have an iota
of respect for him. “Whenever I tried to counsel or advise her as a
beloved father, she would make ignoble and despicable signs to show an
extreme disdain and contempt she has for me. These are the things she
copied from her mother.
“Some times she
would go to another family’s house to sleep or she did something not of
good report, when I tried to caution her, she would talk to me or
demonstrate with a sign that shows an utter contempt.”
As John
prevented them from going to church, he accused Glory of making the same
derogatory sign to show her contempt for him. This was said to have
provoked the ex-soldier who dragged Glory to their bedroom where he
allegedly beat her with a nail-studded plank.
According to Comfort, her husband didn’t allow their daughter any medical assistance.
“I went and
called a nurse who came and started treating her. When she was not
improving, my husband took her to a hospital where she died” Comfort
said.
Glory died last Sunday five days after the incident.
In an interview< John in a sober mood, wondered why he should kill his own daughter and heaped the blame on Satan.
“I am not crazy
to give birth to a child and at the same time kill the child. I don’t
have mother or father, my children are everything to me. So why should I
kill her? My intention was to hit the plank on her back for her just to
receive the pain and nothing more but it landed on her forehead.
“When my wife
went and reported the matter at the police station, I didn’t wait for
the police to come and arrest me. I went to the police and submitted
myself to them. That will show that I didn’t have the intention of
killing my dear daughter. If I meant to kill her as my wife is accusing
me of, I would probably run away or went into hiding.”
On what that
type of dangerous weapon was doing in his bedroom, John said that he is a
security man and that was one of his tools to defend himself and attack
robbers. He accused his wife of encouraging Glory the way she was
misbehaving.
His wife, who
by her name, should be providing comfort for him is now calling for the
full weight of the law to be visited on him.culled
*it is not easy
to manage stubborn children and sometimes it is better to just let them
be...The rod we use in disciplining them can go wrong like in this
case.
Some people say it is good to beat a child to instil discipline into them but in cases like this,the beating can go wrong.
Like i said
before,i am totally against beating a child ..scolding them
works...people should spend more time with their children,it always
helps in handling or punishing them...beating is a no no for me.
What is your opinion of how this man handled his late child?
