“Why I Beat My 14-Year-Old
Daughter To Death” – Nigerian
Soldier Tells His Side Of The Story
Unless by divine intervention, John Udin, a
retired soldier may likely spend the rest of
his life in jail if he doesn’t go to the gallows
for clubbing his 14- year old daughter, Glory
to death.
John 72, from Jesse, Warri in Delta State was
discharged from the Nigeria Army in 1999 as a
corporal. He has 11 children from three wives.
Two of the wives and seven children are in
Jesse, while he resides at 28 Adewale Street, Iba
New Site, Ojo, Lagos with the youngest wife,
Comfort and four children in a two-room
apartment.
Last Tuesday, what started as minor family
quarrel turned fatal. On that fateful evening,
while Comfort, Glory and the three other
children were preparing for evening church
service, it was alleged that John came to the
front of their compound and sat down. As his
family members wanted to leave for church, it
was further alleged that he blocked the
entrance and said they won’t go because they
lack the character of good Christians.
According to John, his daughter Glory, a
secondary school student didn’t have an iota of
respect for him. “Whenever I tried to counsel or
advise her as a beloved father, she would make
ignoble and despicable signs to show an
extreme disdain and contempt she has for me.
These are the things she copied from her
mother.
“Some times she would go to another family’s
house to sleep or she did something not of
good report, when I tried to caution her, she
would talk to me or demonstrate with a sign
that shows an utter contempt.”
As John prevented them from going to church,
he accused Glory of making the same
derogatory sign to show her contempt for him.
This was said to have provoked the ex-soldier
who dragged Glory to their bedroom where he
allegedly beat her with a nail-studded plank.
According to Comfort, her husband didn’t allow
their daughter any medical assistance.
“I went and called a nurse who came and
started treating her. When she was not
improving, my husband took her to a hospital
where she died” Comfort said.
Glory died last Sunday five days after the
incident.
In an interview< John in a sober mood,
wondered why he should kill his own daughter
and heaped the blame on Satan.
“I am not crazy to give birth to a child and at the
same time kill the child. I don’t have mother or
father, my children are everything to me. So
why should I kill her? My intention was to hit
the plank on her back for her just to receive the
pain and nothing more but it landed on her
forehead.
“When my wife went and reported the matter at
the police station, I didn’t wait for the police to
come and arrest me. I went to the police and
submitted myself to them. That will show that I
didn’t have the intention of killing my dear
daughter. If I meant to kill her as my wife is
accusing me of, I would probably run away or
went into hiding.”
On what that type of dangerous weapon was
doing in his bedroom, John said that he is a
security man and that was one of his tools to
defend himself and attack robbers. He
accused his wife of encouraging Glory the way
she was misbehaving.
His wife, who by her name, should be providing
comfort for him is now calling for the full
weight of the law to be visited on him.
“He deliberately killed my daughter and so he
should also be killed the same way”, she
declared. On how he met Comfort, John said
that Comfort’s father though late was his friend
and also a retired soldier.
According to him, after his disengagement
from the military, he took his two wives and
seven children to his village, Jesse. After staying
at home for a while, he said life at the village
didn’t suit him and so opted to come back to
Lagos, but his wives and children said they
were not going with him and preferred to stay
in the village.
“ It was when I came to Lagos and started
visiting Comfort’s father, my friend by then he
was still around and I started going closer to
Comfort and one thing led to another and she
became pregnant.
