A woman identified as Chinelo Udogu has flogged her three years old child to death.

Sources said Udogu carried out the action in a feat of anger, and that when she discovered that the baby had died, she allegedly put her in a bag and dumped her in a bush.

A video circulating online showed the woman being apprehended by some residents of Amikwo, where she dumped the baby in a nearby bush.

Meanwhile, the Anambra State Police command has confirmed the incident, saying that the culprit has been arrested.

Police public relations officer for the command, Mr Toochukwu Ikenga, a Deputy Superintendent of Police who confirmed the incident cautioned against anger.

He said: “On the incident about a woman, Chinelo Udogu, who allegedly flogged a three year old child to death and dumped her body in a bush at Amikwo, Awka, she has been arrested and the victim’s body recovered.
