According to
Tribune , a
29-year-old man, Kingsley Ekerete, killed his seven-year-old daughter
over a plate of boiled rice in Obimama, Oyigbo Local Government Area of
the state. Kinglsey who is a commercial driver who hails from Nto
Osung community in Ikot Ekpene Local Area of Akwa Ibom State, holds just
a First Leaving Certificate and has to drive his bus daily through the
bustling traffic of Port Harcourt to make ends meet and put food on the
table for his young family.
Judging from his looks, no one would have taken him for a murderer or imagined that he is capable of killing his own child.
On this fateful day of April 12, 2014, Kingsley returned home like every
other day at 1900hrs, already famished. He hurried down to the pot of
rice he had prepared before leaving for work only to find that his also
hungry daughter, Favour, had helped herself to the meal he had reserved
for himself.
