This is the bizarre story of how a 14-year-old female nanny known as Chiamaka, strangled her boss’ six-month-old son, Jayden Osokolo, in Lagos State.
It was learnt that the girl was brought from Enugu State by the victim’s mother to work as a housemaid and take care of the six-month-old baby.
She reportedly killed the infant, claiming that a cult group, to which she belonged, demanded his blood from her.
The incident was disclosed by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alabi, at a press briefing held on Monday at the command’s headquarters in Ikeja.
Spokesperson for the command, CSP Adekunle Ajisebutu, said Chiamaka was among several suspects arrested by the police in the last two months for various crimes in the state.
He said, “On February 6, 2022, the 14-year-old nanny strangled the baby kept in her custody. The suspect confessed to be a member of the Ogoloma cult group in Enugu, Enugu State. During interrogation, she disclosed that members of the cult group requested her to bring the blood of the deceased to the spiritual world hence she carried out the dastardly act.”
