The Delta State Police Command detained Sofia Nkwo, a 24-year-old woman, on Thursday, alleging her involvement in the tragic death of her one-year-old son. Reports reveal that Nkwo purportedly abandoned her fourteen-month-old baby in a well along the Araya Community’s road in Isoko South Local Government Area.
