The Benue state police command has arrested a man who killed his daughter as a “sacrificial lamb” to God. The suspect identified as John Depuun was said to have allegedly snatched his infant daughter from his wife before taking her to a bush in Mbangur, Tse-Agberagba, Konshisha LGA, Benue state, where he killed her. 
Upon his arrest, the man confessed to the killing, saying he did it as directed by God. In his words; “It is my sheep and I decided to sacrifice it to God as demanded of me. I have not laid my hands on anyone’s child and as such, should not be condemned.” His family members are however alleging that he is mentally unstable but he has denied that. Photo Credit: Getty
