There was confusion in the Ijora Badia
area of Lagos State when a two-year-old boy, Ibrahim, died after eating a
plate of rice suspected to have been poisoned.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the food was prepared by his mother, Fatimoh Azeez.
Fatimoh, however, said the food was eaten
by other members of her family who were not hurt, adding that she
suspected that one of her sisters-in-law, Fatimoh Rasaki, who had
visited her on the day of the incident, had a hand in the death of the
child.
Our correspondent learnt that Fatimoh
used to visit her boyfriend, Isa, regularly in his parents’ apartment on
Olajide Street in the Ijora community.
She was said to have become pregnant for him and was later delivered of the boy.
The lovebirds were reportedly cohabiting
in the house when Fatimoh’s parents took her and the baby away to their
house on Akosile Street.
Isa was reportedly allowed to visit both mother and child.
