SP Benjamin Hundeyin, Lagos Police spokesman while confirming the incident to newsmen averred that the police together with neighbours tracked down Anieze to a location in the area, where he was arrested.

 

“There was no argument between him and his wife. He said he was possessed by evil spirits when he smashed the baby on the ground. He also set the house ablaze and ran away.

 

“The wife cried out and after putting out the fire, they brought her to the station. The police alongside neighbours tracked him down to the place where he was arrested.

 

The corpse has been deposited at the Yaba General Hospital’s morgue.”

 

Hundeyin added that the case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation.
