On New Year’s Day, a man in the Kuje Area Council of the Federal Capital
Territory (FCT) killed his niece for allegedly refusing to wash his
clothes.
The man simply known as Sunday reportedly went to the house of his
niece, 19-year-old, Cecilia David, to ask her why she had disobeyed his
order to wash his clothes. Cecilia David was said to be plaiting her
hair and gave a reply that didn’t go down well with her uncle, Sunday.
Sunday pounced on Cecilia David and beat her mercilessly before she
slumped. According to reports, despite efforts to resuscitate her and
rushing her to the hospital afterwards, a medical doctor at the
community health centre pronounced Cecilia David dead.
Sunday was immediately arrested by the police from Kwaku Police Outpost and taken to Kuje divisional headquarters.
Cecilia David was buried Friday, January 2 in the village.
