Woman kills her own new born child because he looked like her ex-boyfriend

18-year-old Ana Rosa Mora (pictured above) has been arrested for killing her own child because the the new born looked like her ex-boyfriend. Ana wrapped her baby in a bag and left him outside to die because she feared the child looked like her ex-boyfriend and her current boyfriend would leave her.

The Chicago Tribune reports that the teen gave birth last weekend and attended school on Monday after allegedly committing the act and even showed staff members pictures of a newborn girl that she claimed she downloaded from the Internet.

But after employees noticed strange behavior - such as the girl asking if authorities could link her to the child through DNA and lying about the baby's age - they alerted authorities. Continue...



The child had been found by a construction worker a few hours after the child was left outside. The boy was born alive but died of asphyxia and possible exposure, authorities said.

The new mother said her ex-boyfriend was the father and when the child was born she feared her current boyfriend would notice and leave her, the newspaper reported. She was arrested Friday April 25th.

Mora, who was scheduled to graduate from high school in June and attend college in the fall is facing charges of first-degree murder and is now being held on $500,000 bail.

Narrating what happened to Tribune, the little girl said

"Uncle Anthony is a father to me. He is my father’s brother. My father is dead and my mother is in our village at Adamawa State, married to another man now. I don’t go to school. I finished Primary 6 and was supposed to start JSS1 but I was not sent to secondary school by my uncle. I usually stay at home to do house chores. I would then take my cousins to school and come back home to work. I would go back to the school in the afternoon to pick them. My  Uncle started sleeping with me in 2013. How it happened was that he would leave for work in the morning and come back in the afternoon while his wife is away at work where she works as a cleaner. He would take the children to the big room, asking them to stay there, and would take me to the small room. He would remove my pant and push me on the bed. He would then remove his trousers and bring out his manhood. He would then put it inside me and sleep with me. I can’t count the number of times it has happened. When I told the wife, she threatened to return me to our village. On Saturday, April 19, my uncle asked me to mix hot and cold water for him to take his bath. He took the bucket to the bathroom and asked me to bring his sponge to him. As I took the sponge to him, he dragged me into the bathroom and had sex with me. There were people in the house but he warned me not to shout.  The following morning, I told one woman in our compound. She, in turn, told someone and when the person interviewed me, he called in the Finima youths. I am surprised that my uncle is denying.” she said

Anthony denied the accusation made by the little girl saying he has suffered erectal dysfunctional for a long time due to a sexually transmitted disease he suffered sometime ago.

"I am surprised at what she said that I was having sex with her because it is not true. I have a problem with my manhood which has resulted in my inability to make love to a woman. I have not been experiencing erection at all. I was told by my doctor that it was caused by syphilis that I once had. He said the sexually transmitted disease was not well treated when I had it. It also resulted in my having zero sperm in my semen which the doctor said would not make me have a baby. I was given Proviron to boost my sperm count.” he said.

Anthony's wife, who the girl accused as an accomplice, says her husband has sexual challenges and that Karen never told her of her husband's sexual advances

"We have been married for 14 years but, initially, my husband had low sperm count. He married another woman after me but we got pregnant at the same time after several prayers. I have a child and the other woman has two. She has left and I am the one taking care of her children with mine. Karen is my husband’s niece. She came to us after her father died and she was just about a year old then. I am confused about the whole issue because my husband had been having weak erection for over a year and had not been able to make love to me. We sought medical help and the doctor recommended some drugs.  Since the drugs are expensive, we have resorted to prayers. I am not defending my husband but I don’t understand how he was able to have sexual relationship with  the girl with his current condition. And Karen did not inform me as she claimed. If she did, I would have admitted it,” the wife said.

Deputy Police Public Relations Officer in Rivers State, Grace Iringe-Koko confirmed the incident and says investigation is currently going on and if he is found guilty, he would be charged to court.

Soyinka says Islamic sect does not reflect teachings, values of Islam

Nobel laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka Wednesday called on the federal government to ensure release of students of Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, Borno state who were taken hostage recently by members of the dreaded Islamic sect, Boko Haram in the school.


Professor Soyinka who gave the keynote address in Port Harcourt at the opening ceremony of Port Harcourt as UNESCO World Book Capital 2014 said the focus of the event was for the federal government to ensure the safe release of the students.

He said he had expected President Goodluck Jonathan to convene an emergency security meeting over the ugly development in the school after the abduction of the students.

Continuing he said the ongoing book fair in Port Harcourt was a national rejection of Boko Haram, adding that the dreaded Islamic sect does not reflect the teachings and values of Islam.

He further urged the federal government not to impose tax on importation of books,

Minutes after his address, former Minister of Education, Dr Oby Ezekwesili and the Project Director, Rainbow Book club, Mrs Koko Kalango led the gathering stand up to make a collective demand on the federal government to ensure the kidnapped students were released.

Earlier in her goodwill message, Dr Ezekwesili had expressed hope that Port Harcourt as UNESCO World Book capital 2014 would stimulate interest in reading among the old and young, stressing that conscious effort be made to transform the country into centre of intellectual activities.

In his remark, Chairman of the ceremony, former Head of State, Gen Abdusalami Abubakar rtd, harped on the need for peace and security of lives in the country. He also congratulated Port Harcourt for emerging World Book capital for the year.

On her part, the Project Director, Rainbow Book club, Mrs Kalango appealed to government at all levels in the country to set up functional libraries in all the local governments, stressing that the campaign to get Nigerians reading should be in schools and various homes.

She further appealed to government to make education available to all, noting that a thriving book culture was part of the needed tools to move the nation forward.

Governor Chibuike Amaechi who was host at the event said his administration started holding the Garden City literary festival since 2008 as a step towards reversing the economic decline in the state which he blamed on militancy and other related challenges.

” Rivers state had been at the fault lines of much of the problems that plagued the Delta region and it was clear to us that our quickest way to leap frog development was to bring back the book and get our children reading again. Our thinking was that if we could address illiteracy and get poor children back in schools, we could also directly guarantee sustainable development and effective governance”, he said.

He said the annual festival had transformed the state into the hub of literature in the country. ” Port Harcourt as UNESCO world book capital 2014 is the result of the huge impact and success of our efforts since 2008″, the governor said.

Continuing, the governor said the solution to the menace posed by Boko Haram was in education and agriculture. ” Boko Harams are shooting , is because somebody is paying them. We dismantled the illegal economy called militancy in Rivers state”, he said.

The governor also said his administration would not hesitate to admit any of the students rescued to its model schools .

The height of the ceremony was the formal handover to Port Harcourt as UNESCO world book capital 2014 by a team from Bangkok led by the Deputy Governor, Mr Amom Kitchawenghul.
