It was reported that mother of baby, Abosede Ogundare disclosed that she left Zainab with Kazeem to sweep the compound only to come back and met the baby with foams gushing out from her mouth, as she immediately alerted neighbours to the incident having found a bottle containing pesticide with her husband.

However, Kazeem 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.
