According to him, Akinola’s arrest followed information received by the police in Sagamu division that the baby left in her care by her mother had been found dead.

The PPRO said that the mother of the baby was reported to have gone to the bathroom only to return and discover the lifeless body of her baby.

He said that upon receiving the information, the Divisional Police Officer, DPO, in charge of Sagamu, Okiki Agunbiade, dispatched detectives to the scene where the suspect was promptly arrested.

He explained further that upon questioning, the suspect admitted poisoning and killing the baby because she didn’t like her daughter getting married to the father of the baby.

“She confessed further that she had attempted to terminate the pregnancy, but her pastor had warned her against it, hence she waited for her daughter to deliver before carrying out her devilish intention.

“She explained further that she poisoned the baby with a deadly insecticide known as Sniper,” he said.

Oyeyemi stated that the baby’s corpse had been deposited at the morgue of the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital, Sagamu for autopsy while the suspect had been transferred to the homicide section of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, SCIID, for further investigation and prosecution.
