The Delta State Police Command has arrested a 24-year-old woman, Sofia Nkwo, on Thursday, accusing her of the tragic killing of her one-year-old son.

Naija News understands that the 24-year-old woman allegedly dumped her one year and a month old baby in a well along the Araya Community’s road in Isoko South Local Government Area.
