Reports have it that when Wunmi  left for work on Friday, October 15, she left her son in the nanny’s care. After school, the nanny went to pick him up from school and took him home.

Azeez claimed she fed him when they arrived home and took him outside the compound to play. Shortly after, she said she noticed that the boy was running temperature so she gave him some drugs.

“She asked why I gave the baby drugs without her permission and I apologised for that, but she started accusing me of always drugging her son to make him sleep and I told her that yesterday (Friday) was the first time I would give him the drugs: Paracetamol and Vitamin C, with the cough drug she bought,” the nanny said.

“I was surprised about the allegation because I had no reason to drug her son; but she said she did not want to meet at home when she returned. So, I packed my bags and sat at the entrance of the gate outside, but she later called the gateman not to allow me to go out.

“When she came back around 8pm, she started shouting and cursing me. She later said I should enter her car that we were going to a police station. I entered the car because my mind was clean towards her and her son. Instead of driving to the police station, she drove to the estate gate and dropped me with the guards and told them that they must not allow me to go.
