Naval Officer Pays Okada Man N5K To Murder His 3- Week-Ol Baby

It is rather pathetic that a father would murder his
3-weeks-old baby because he does not love the
mother.
A wicked Naval Officer, Moses Joseph » , is in
the dock for paying a commercial motorcyclist,
popularly called Okada, to murder his 3-week-old
baby girl » because he did not love it's mother
and did not want to keep the child born out of
wedlock.
In a pathetic case currently going on at the Lagos
High Court, Igbosere, the prosecution witness,
Inspector Simeon Kunamon, narrated how Moses
hired the services of the okadaman, Ilaya Peters,
at the sum of N5,000 and masterminded the
forceful abduction of the baby and murder of the
baby, Princess Happiness Moses, by throwing her
alive into the Lagos lagoon.
Kunamon, who was led in evidence by the state
prosecuting counsel, Ebere Agu, testified that the
baby’s father, Moses, 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, which he threw into the
lagoon.
The witness who gave testimony before Justice
Raliatu Adebiyi, told the judge how the baby was
forcibly taken from her mother, Gloria Yusuf, at
about 1am, at her residence at 8, Odofin Close,
Ajegunle, and thrown into the lagoon.
Kunamon also told the court that Moses organised
some thugs on February 2, 2012, to steal the baby
from the mother and deliver to him at Liverpool,
where she was 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
1am, four weeks after the father of the baby paid
her a visit. The defendant had earlier been
arraigned on a two-count charge bordering on
conspiracy and murder preferred against him by
Lagos State.
He, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges
against him as Justice Adebiyi adjourned the
matter to February 18, 2015.
