Nollywood actress accused of brutalizing Lagos Nanny over Son’s treatment
A nanny, Motunrayo Azeez has accused a Nollywood actress, Wunmi Toriola of brutalizing her over allegations of drugging her son at her residence, Medina Estate in Gbagada area of Lagos State.
It was learnt that Toriola, who went to work on Friday, left her son in the care of Azeez.
The nanny went to pick the boy after school hours and took him home.
When they got home, Azeez claimed that she fed the child and took him outside the compound to play.
Shortly afterwards, the nanny said she discovered that the boy was running a temperature and she gave him some medication.
Matters took another turn when Toriola, who was monitoring the situation on a CCTV device connected to her mobile phone, became angry.
“She asked why i gave the baby drugs without her permission and i apologized for that, but she started accusing me of always drugging her son to make him sleep and i told her that yesterday (Friday) was the first time i would give him the drugs: Paracetamol and Vitamin C, with the cough drug she bought.
“I was surprised about the allegation because i had no reason to drug her son but she said she did not want to meet me at home when she returned. So, i packed my bags and sat at the entrance of the gate outside, but she later called the gateman not to allow me go out.
“She started beating me at the gate and later carried me back home. When we got home, she ordered that i should be locked inside a room, her husband called a soldier who came to beat me with a horsewhip and used electric shocker on me”, Azeez said.
The 27 year old nanny noted that the actress vowed to lock her up in the house for three weeks to monitor her son’s health.
However, when Azeez mother pleaded on her behalf, the actress reportedly took her to a police station to write an undertaking.
“I didn’t get myself with the beating i received from her and the soldier. I want justice because i only gave her son drugs out of a pure mind”.
Toriola who claimed that she didn’t beat Azeez said her son had slept for days before and seeing the nanny giving him drugs without her permission raised her suspicion.
She alleged that neighbours had reported to her that the nanny always beat her child.
“When i got home, i asked what happened, i didn’t beat her because when i attempted to beat her, she dodged my hand. I called my husband and he told me not to take any step till he got back. When he came, he called the police to pick her and go and write a statement. But i was the one begging on her behalf that they should not take her away because her people were also begging me”.
