In what might appear as an act of wickedness, a 28-year-old
woman identified as Blessing Ochonogor, made the decision to dump her
baby in an orphanage and move in with her 4th husband.
28-year-old Blessing Ochonogor dumped her baby in an orphanage and moved in with her 4th husband
According to reports, a 28-year-old woman
identified as Blessing Ochonogor, left her husband's home while he was
in jail, and moved in with a man who became her 4th husband, while also
dumping her baby in an orphanage in Abuja.
Blessing
who had two children with her 34-year-old live-in lover and jail
returnee, Paul Jubril, was accused of killing one of the children before
heading off to marry another man.
Paul had returned from the Suleja Prisons
about two weeks ago, only to discover that Blessing had taken off with
their two children Ifeoma and Peter, to an unknown destination.
On further investigations, it was
discovered that Blessing had taken their daughter Ifeoma, to an
orphanage, where she lied to them that the child was an orphan. It was
later discovered that little Ifeoma was already carrying HIV.
Upon
discovering her HIV status, officials of the orphanage returned Ifeoma
to Blessing, but she was said to have died soon after as she wasn't
undergoing any treatment.
Speaking to the Sun, Paul said:
“I
went to Suleja prison. When I came back in January 2017, I couldn’t
find my wife and two kids. It was later I heard that my daughter Ifeoma
was at an orphanage home at Arab Road, Kubwa Abuja.
I remember we had a
misunderstanding in 2015 but I didn’t know she would pack out of the
house with our two children, Peter Smith who is seven years old and
Ifeoma who is two years and three months
“I
have to report the case at Kubwa phase 4 police station Abuja. I didn’t
believe that my child could die of HIV. When I was going to prison in
December 2016, my child was in good health. I don’t know why my child
will die of HIV. I don’t have HIV, likewise, my seven years old son,
Peter Smith.
My child is now
at the mortuary at Kubwa General Hospital. Before I bury my child, I am
still insisting to know what killed her. I want to know the cause of
death of my child. It is Blessing who is responsible for the death of my
child.”
Meanwhile when Blessing was contacted, she gave her reasons for moving out:
“Whenever I have a quarrel
with my boyfriend, he used to beat me to a state of coma. When I
couldn’t bear it anymore, I packed out of the house to sleep in an
uncompleted building for three days. I deceived them that the parents of
the child are dead. It’s true, I didn’t go there to check
my child, and I went only once. It was frustration that prompted me to
take the child to orphanage home. When life was so difficult for me, I
had to marry another man."
Suddenly,
the orphanage home called me that the child I brought to them was ill. I
refused to go there initially but later I went and took the child to
Gwarinpa General Hospital and they diagnosed her of HIV and we were
referred to the National Hospital but in the process the baby died on
December 2016”
My Father and Mother are not living together. There is nobody I can
handover my child to when I was in predicament. Since I am no longer
with my boyfriend, he has threatened to kill me. Since the death of my
child, my boyfriend has been accusing me of killing our child with HIV.
It
is not possible to kill my own daughter. When life is so difficult for
me, I have to marry another man. My boyfriend didn’t give us rest of
mind since he came back from prison. My boyfriend has frustrated my life
and I am not going back to his house again.”
Meanwhile
the FCT Police Commissioner, Mr. Mohammed Mustapha has promised that
Paul and Blessing will b encouraged to settle and also bury their baby
that they abandoned in the mortuary.
