separated from her son's father and lives with her

A neighbor, Akeem Ijaola, who resides in the same
area with Funmi when the incident happened said
Funmi, a fashion designer, narrates what happened
"Funmilayo and her son stayed with her father in
a one-room apartment. The boy attended a
private school in this area. About 4pm on the
fateful day, we noticed that something was going
wrong in the apartment. When people went near,
they saw the boy in a pool of blood. He had been
stabbed many times. Funmilayo at that time
looked like a mentally-derailed woman. The boy
died before anyone could take him to a hospital.
Although no one could ascertain the cause of her
action, Funmilayo is divorced, and the child was
born out of wedlock about three years ago."
Another neighbour, who spoke on condition of
anonymity, said Funmilayo might have committed the
act out of frustration as she was financially and
emotionally unstable.
"She tried to borrow money during that week
from her boss, but she failed. There are also
arguments whether her husband was the father
of the boy or her father, who she stayed with.
Also, her former husband, John, has married
another wife who gave birth a few weeks to the
incident. I think all these contributed to
Funmilayo's emotional breakdown."
Speaking on the incident, Funmi's father, 53 year old
Mr Adebayo from Ikare Akoko, Ondo State, said
"Funmilayo's mother died about 20 years ago.
She grew up staying with me. I married a second
wife later, but separated from her years ago.
Funmilayo had been staying with me since she
separated from her husband. John initially
refused to accept her pregnancy. But they went
for a DNA test, which confirmed him as being
responsible for the pregnancy. Thereafter, he
took her to a place in Apapa, and they were
planning to travel to his hometown in Delta
State,. but I refused and asked her to come back
home."he said
The Ogun state police spokesperson DSP Muyiwa
Adejobi, confirmed the incident and said Funmi has
been acting very strange since she was arrested.
"The police were at the scene to recover the
body of the child. The woman has been acting
strangely like someone with an unsound mind.
She has been arrested and investigation is
ongoing."
The child's body is said to be in the morgue.
