A Nigerian woman Oluremi Oyindasola, 66,
of Glenarden, Maryland working as a nanny
has been arrested and has been charged
with second-degree murder, first-degree child
abuse resulting in death and other offenses
after police said she force fed an eight-
month-old baby girl who then later died.
Prince George's County Police said
Wednesday, a home surveillance system
recorded Oyindasola taking a nap when the
crying infant, eight-month-old Enita Salubi,
approached her in a toddler walker.
According to Police, 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.'
The Police also released a press statement
which read:
'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,' the release
said.
Oyindasola, is being held on $1million bond.
