Wickedness!!!Father Poisons 41 Day Old Baby In Attempt To Divorce His Wife . (Photo)

Poor 41-day-old baby, Zainab Olajide, has been
sent back to where she came from, spending little
time on this earth, after she was allegedly
poisoned by her father, Kazeem Olajide, in a keen
attempt to divorce his wife.
The incident happened at about 07:00am on
Friday in the Lemode area of Ogun State.
According to Punch, 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.
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.
He said, “He doesn’t love the woman and has
been trying to divorce her. He poisoned the
innocent baby to actualise his mission. They
recently moved to this estate. She was their only
child.”
The landlord of the house, who did not want his
name in print, said the suspect had denied being
Zainab’s father prior to the incident.
“Three days before the incident, Kazeem (Olajide)
was looking for a pair of his slippers. When he
did not find it on time, he started raining curses. I
called him by his daughter’s name, and tried to
caution him, but he warned me not to call him by
her name again. It was when the incident
happened that I realised he might have
intentionally killed the child.”
Sokunbi, the Oba of Ijoko-Lemode, said Kazeem
owned up to the act, claiming that he was pushed
by the devil. He said he had been following the
case to ensure that the suspect was brought to
justice.
He said,
“It was the landlord who came to report the case
to me and I directed my chiefs to bring him and
the wife to the palace. I asked the husband and
he confessed. He said it was the handiwork of the
devil.
“I called the police from the Agbado Police
Division to arrest him. They said he had been
transferred to the state command headquarters. I
have been following the case. This is a pure
murder case and I want the police to duly
prosecute the suspect and let him face the law.”
The monarch added that Kazeem’s wife told him
in the presence of his chiefs that she saw the
bottle with him two days before the incident.
He said, “The woman thought the bottle contained
herbs. She said she left the child with him to
sweep the compound, only to return and met
Zainab gasping and foaming in the mouth. She
said she smelled pesticide in the baby’s mouth.
