He said:

“I stay in Port Harcourt, I came to the village that day; I don’t really know what happened, I started quarrelling with my mother.

“My daughter was sleeping. About 4a.m., I carried her to the village stream and strangled her. I cannot say how it happened.

“It was people from my mother side who arrested me. I regret my action. Honestly, I cannot say why I killed my four-year-old daughter.”

On his part, Esin said he went to his uncle’s house to ask him why people were dying in his family. He said:

“When I got there, I met him and the children, we exchanged pleasantries. What really happened after that, I cannot explain.”

Asked how he used machete to butcher his uncle. He said:

“That is why I am pleading for leniency because I cannot say what really pushed me into doing that.”
