PUNCH Metro learnt that the victim’s mother, Adeola, had been taken to Oyekanmi’s residence last Saturday when she went into labour. Oyekanmi, while attempting to force the delivery, was said to have pulled off the baby’s hand.🤔🤔

She then advised that the child be taken to the Ikorodu General Hospital, where the dead child was finally delivered.



Doctors at the hospital were reported to have queried the baby’s parents on what truly transpired, and they opened up. The hospital management then alerted the police to the incident. A source said Oyekanmi was picked up by the police.
