A 41-day-old baby, Zainab Olajide, has died after she was allegedly poisoned by her father, Kazeem Olajide, in a desperate attempt to divorce his wife.

The incident happened at about 7am on Friday at Toluwalase Estate, Ijoko-Abule, in the Lemode area of Ogun State.

PUNCH Metro learnt that 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.

Our correspondent learnt that 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.

PUNCH Metro gathered that the father was handed over to policemen at the Agbado Police Division after he confessed to the crime before the monarch.

The couple’s residence was locked up when our correspondent visited the community on Tuesday.

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.

He said, “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.”

The Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Muyiwa Adejobi, confirmed that the case had been transferred to the command headquarters, adding that Zainab’s remains had been deposited in a mortuary.

Adejobi said, “The corpse of the baby has been deposited in a mortuary. The case has been transferred to the Department of Criminal Investigation for further investigation.

“We have the suspect with us and he is going to be properly investigated. He and others found culpable in the course of our investigation will be charged to court.”

The wife must have tormented the husband and pushed him to a breaking point that made him to commit this wicked act. Some women sha. SMH! The husband should rot in jail.

The man's name is Kazeem Olajide from Ogun state .

This is what happens when a wayward father allows the manhood to takeover the brains thinking function. You shall account for the spill of that baby's blood.

RIP, poor baby.

Mumu of Life!

Barbaric.

Why go to such an extent when you can easily have another wife outside. Aren't you a Yoruba man? Its very allowed in the culture. Must you divorce her? Must you kill your innocent son to do so? And in this age where baby namas are allowed? Pls let him hang. No story abeg.

LoOk at his face.

Wickedness written all over it.

Haa

Just serve him the same pesticide, what a wicked man and how can the woman not want to leave such a man? They are both crazy.

May the babe RIP.

As we step out this morning and forever the Almighty God will deliver us from wicked souls. It can only be imagined as the innocent child without any iota of doubt took poison with joy not knowing that her father is a devil incarnate. God save me from the enemy pretending to be friends.

What a wicked world...... God please have mercy on us. Innocent Baby, rest in peace. Your supposed father hates you that much.

Devil's advocate. I'm sure the spirit of the beautiful innocent baby will hunt you for the rest of your life. He should pay dearly for the acts.

Wicked man.
