According to the PPRO, the suspect is in police detention and investigations have commenced.
In his confession, Ibanga said he carried out the act after eating a meal prepared by his mother.
“I stay in Port Harcourt, I came to the village that day; I don’t really know what happened, I started quarreling with my mother.
“Suddenly, something just entered into me and urged me to kill my daughter who was fast asleep. About 4a.m., A voice spoke to me and I carried her to the village stream and strangled her.
“I still cannot understand why I committed that crime as my eyes became clear after my daughter had died. I cannot say how it happened. It was after I had killed her that my eyes became clear and I began to understand that I had committed a grievous offence.
“As I got home, my mother asked me the whereabouts of the girl and when I could not explain, she raised an alarm and alerted the neighbourhood.
“The police was invited to arrest me. I do not know what got into me. I regret everything,” he begged.
