Man kills daughter for allegedly grabbing his manhood, buries her in shallow grave

Ime Sunday Etukudo has been detained by the Akwa Ibom State Police Command after he killed his daughter and buried her in a shallow grave.

According to SP Odiko Macdon, the state police Public Relations Officer, Etukudo killed his 20-year-old daughter Ofonmbuk Ime on Sunday because she was grabbing at his manhood.

According to Macdon, the daughter of the suspect and the victim got into a fight after having a disagreement, and the victim ended up clinging to her father’s manhood.

In a press release provided to reporters on Wednesday in Uyo, the PPRO revealed that Etukudo beat the deceased woman in the head with a stick in retaliation for his daughter’s action, which caused her death.

Police have unearthed the body and saved it for an autopsy, despite the fact that the suspect is alleged to have buried the corpse in a shallow grave to hide his tracks.

“Based on credible information, on 9th October 2022, at about 1910hrs, one Ime Sunday Etukudo ‘m’ of Omum Unyiam village in Etim Ekpo Local Government Area, unlawfully killed and buried his daughter, one Ofonmbuk Ime Sunday, aged 20yrs, at the family compound at Omum Unyiam Village.

“The suspect alleged that there was a family misunderstanding which led to a fight and that the victim held his manhood, that he, in turn, used a stick to hit her on the head, which led to her death and that he decided to bury her in a shallow grave to cover his track,” he stated.

The police also arrested a family Head, Edet Uyo Ntung for butchering his nephew, Emem Monday to death over the pretence of resolving a lingering family feud.

“Also, on 29th September 2022 at about 1400hrs, one Edet Uyo Ntung ‘m’ was arrested for the murder of one Emem Monday Uyo ‘m’, both of Afaha Ediene village in Ikono Local Government Area.
