A middle aged woman, Yidiat Bakare, has been sentenced to five years imprisonment by an Osogbo Magistrate court for killing her own child.

The accused was said to have deliberately thrown her threemonth- old baby into a river in Ifon- Osun, headquarters of Orolu Local Government Area of Osun State on January 10th, 2013.

Community Mirror gathered, the accused had quarreled with her husband, Amodu Bakare for refusing to give her housekeeping allowance. Because of this, the accused threw her child into the river.

Police prosecutor, Mr Oladoye Joshua, told the court that” the act of the accused person resulted in the death of the child and therefore had committed an offence contrary to and punishable under section 325 of the criminal code, cap 34 voll II, laws of Osun state of Nigeria 2003.”

Counsel to accused person, Mr Jimoh Daramola pleaded guilty to the one count charge against his client. In his judgement, the presiding magistrate, Mr. Olusola Aluko, sentenced Yidiat to five years imprisonment with hard labour without an option of fine.

She had a three month old baby - so a fairly new mum.

I'm thinking this lady might have been suffering from Post Natal Depression.

Sad story though...
