TrackNews Online gathered incident reportedly occurred at Umulumgbe in the Udi Local Government Area of the state on April 9, 2021, when the suspect allegedly gave a poisonous substance to the child which reportedly caused his sudden death.
A statement on Friday by Daniel Ndukwe, the state Police Public Relations Officer, said the stepmother was arrested by operatives attached to the 9th Mile Police Division following a report to the police by her husband, Justine Egwuagu.
Ndukwe said, “Primary investigation shows that the suspect confessed to giving a noxious substance suspected to be an insecticide to the child.
