The teenage suspect
The gallant operatives of the Nigerian Police Force, Ondo State Command, have apprehended a teenage housemaid identified as Mary Akinnifesi, for allegedly attempting to kill her boss, Alhaji Nasiru Akinlosotu, with poison.
The incident occurred at Adetomowo Street, Ondo town, Ondo State.
Alhaji Akinsolotu said that his wife asked Mary to prepare beans
for the family, but the maid allegedly added rat poison to the food.
The 63-year-old explained that as he was eating the food, he
noticed that it had a strange taste and an offensive odour. He said he
vomited the little he had swallowed from the food and asked the maid
about the content of the food.
His words: “It was in the course of interrogation by our
neighbour that the maid confessed that she put rat poison into my own
share of the food. She also confessed that she decided to add poison to
my food because I beat her anytime she committed an offence in the
house.”
Mary was handed over to the police at the Yaba Police Division in Ondo town. The Ondo State police PRO, Femi Joseph, confirmed the incident adding that probe was ongoing.
