An 18-month-old toddler has been beheaded in Ondo State by unknown persons.

The lifeless body of the little girl was discovered with the head severed after an attack on the mother at a farm settlement in Idanre, headquarters of Idanre Local Government Area of Ondo State.

The father of the girl, Bright Kalu, a peasant farmer at Agoti Settlement, said his wife was attacked along with the children, but he was unable to rescue the infant.

Kalu, who is demanding justice over the incident, stated that his daughter was left in the care of her mother at the camp while he was working on another farm.

He said, “I was returning from a nearby camp where I had gone to buy food items when I met my wife looking troubled and distressed. When I asked what had happened, she told me that someone had come to the camp and attacked her and that she was able to rescue three of our children, but one was missing.

“My elder brother, Mr. Ifeanyi Kalu, and I immediately followed her to the camp and searched the area. We did not find anyone, but we later discovered the lifeless body of my daughter behind our house. Her head had been severed.”

While confirming the incident, the police public relations officer in the state, Abayomi Jimoh, said that an arrest had been made and the investigation is ongoing.
