A young girl identified as Onyinye and her mother have allegedly beaten her father to death after he confronted her over a second out-of-wedlock pregnancy.
The incident occurred along Urhobo road in Sapele Local Government Area of Delta State.
It was learnt that the deceased questioned his daughter after she got pregnant again for another man, whom he hadn’t met.
The deceased, a commercial tricycle operator, was said to have been reprimanding his daughter for the second pregnancy when she became angry and pounced on, beating him to stupor.
Onyinye’s mother was said to have quickly locked the door, joining her daughter in assaulting the husband, until he fell and hit his head on the ground.
He was reported to have died instantly, before neighbours could intervene and force the door open.
Sources in the area said residents raised an alarm, inviting the Police, who arrested both the mother and daughter.
However, when the Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe was contacted for official details on the incident, he claimed the matter had not been reported.
