| Kazeem and Zainab |
A 41-day-old baby, Zainab Olajide, has
died after she was allegedly poisoned by her father, Kazeem Olajide, in a
desperate attempt to divorce his wife.
The incident happened at about 7am on Friday at Toluwalase Estate, Ijoko-Abule, in the Lemode area of Ogun State.
According to source, the
mother, Abosede Ogundare, had left Zainab with Kazeem to.....
sweep the
compound only to come back and met the baby with foams gushing out from
her mouth.
It was learnt that Ogundare alerted neighbours to the incident having found a bottle containing pesticide with her husband.
Zainab was said to have been rushed to a hospital in the community, where she eventually died.
It was also learnt that the
suspect, who hails from Abeokuta, Ogun State, attempted to flee, but was
held by residents, while the landlord of the house reported the case to
the monarch of the community, Oba Solomon Sokunbi.
It was gathered that the
father was handed over to policemen at the Agbado Police Division after
he confessed to the crime before the monarch.
A resident, who identified himself only
as Biodun, said Kazeem had been threatening to divorce his wife before
the baby’s untimely death.
