A 66-year-old Nigerian woman, Oluremi Oyindasola, who works as a nanny in the United States, has been arrested due to the death of a baby girl in her care after she force fed her.
Oyindasola of Glenarden, Maryland, has been charged with second-degree murder, first-degree child abuse resulting in death and other offenses after police.
According to Prince George’s County Police, a home surveillance system recorded Oyindasola taking a nap when the crying infant, eight-month-old Enita Salubi, approached her in a toddler walker.
Police said Oyindasola unsuccessfully tried to feed the child, then when she got frustrated with the infant not wanting to eat, she ‘proceeded to pour a large amount of white liquid directly inside the victim’s mouth’.
Col. Harry Bond with Prince George’s County Police said: “She forcefully poured the two bottles of what looks to be milk down the baby’s mouth, causing her to not be able to breathe, suffocating her, and eventually she died at the hospital.’
A statement by Police reads: “On October 24th, at about 4.10pm, the baby had been rushed to a hospital after she became unresponsive at home.
“She was pronounced dead a short time later. An autopsy on Tuesday revealed the baby’s cause of death was asphyxiation. The manner of death was ruled a homicide.
“The preliminary investigation revealed the injuries to the baby occurred while in the sole care and custody of Oyindasola.’ Oyindasol ‘is in the custody of the Department of Corrections’
Oyindasola, is being held on $1million bond.
