Kunamon, who was led in evidence by the state prosecuting
counsel, Ebere Agu, testified that the baby’s father, Moses Joseph, who is
attached to Nigerian Navy, Amuwo Odofin, paid the defendant and others at large
the said sum to forcibly take the baby from her mother, which he threw into the
lagoon.
The witness, who gave testimony before Justice Raliatu
Adebiyi, told the judge how the baby was forcibly taken from her mother, Gloria
Yusuf, at about 1a.m. at her residence at 8, Odofin Close, Ajegunle, and thrown
into the lagoon.
Kunamon also told the court that Moses organised some thugs
on February 2, 2012, to steal the baby from the mother and deliver to him at
Liverpool, where she was thrown into the lagoon in a peak milk cartoon, adding
that the deceased baby’s body could not be recovered.
According to him, trouble started when Gloria Yusuf, mother
of the baby told Moses, her lover of one year, that she was pregnant, and that
Moses asked her to terminate the pregnancy, which she refused.
This, according to him, made her to pack out of the house
and rented an apartment at Ajegunle, until she gave birth on January 13, 2012,
to a baby girl she named Princess Happiness Moses.
He said the baby was killed on February 2, 2012, at about
1a.m., four weeks after the father of the baby paid her a visit.
The defendant had earlier been arraigned on a two-count
charge bordering on conspiracy and murder preferred against him by Lagos State.
