I can't understand how cruel some mad people can be.If you don't want a child ,why not just walk into a police station or hospital and say "i don't want this child,take him off me"? I'm sure their are loads of options,motherless babies homes etc.To kill a child cos you don't want it is just the worst thing one can do.I will sentence this man to death in a blink of an eye! I know some people say abolish the death penalty.Well some people deserve nothing but slow painful death!
Take the case of this man standing trial for ordering his 3-week old baby to be killed.
Prosecution witness, Inspector Simeon Kunamon, yesterday told a Lagos High Court sitting at Igbosere how a motorcycle rider, popularly known asOkada, Ilaya Peters, was paid N5,000 to murder the baby.
According to Vanguard, he testified that the baby’s father, Moses Joseph, who is attached to Nigerian Navy, Amuwo Odofin, paid the defendant and others at large the said sum to forcibly take the baby from her mother, Gloria Yusuf, at about 1a.m. at her residence at 8, Odofin Close, Ajegunle.

The baby was stolen and thrown into the lagoon in a peak milk cartoon, adding that the deceased baby’s body could not be recovered.
According to him, trouble started when Gloria Yusuf, mother of the baby told Moses, her lover of one year, that she was pregnant, and that Moses asked her to terminate the pregnancy, which she refused.
This, according to him, made her to pack out of the house and rented an apartment at Ajegunle, until she gave birth on January 13, 2012, to a baby girl she named Princess Happiness Moses.
He said the baby was killed on February 2, 2012, at about 1a.m., four weeks after the father of the baby paid her a visit.
