Punch Metro gathered that the woman handed over her daughter to her
younger brother’s wife, Kehinde Ojo.

The child’s mother said she agreed to the arrangement after Omolola also
promised to take care of her daughter.
Jimoh, however, said less
than 10 months after the 14-year-old left their house alive, her corpse was
returned with scars.
She said, “In February 2022, my
sister-in-law, Kehinde Ojo, who married my brother, Fatai, came to me that a
woman in Ibadan, Omolara, who was working with the police, wanted a girl to
take care of her baby and her house too.

“I accepted, but I told her that I did not want payment; all I wanted was that
the family should help me to train her either in school or fashion design.
“Ojo
called the woman (Omolola) who wanted my girl; we spoke and she agreed to the
conditions that I gave her.
“Since February 2022 when my daughter
left my house, it was her brutalized corpse that I received last Friday from
Omolola, whom I have not met but through my sister-in-law.

“Some days before then, my heart went to my daughter and when I called
to speak with her through Ojo, Omolara’s number was either switched off or
busy.”
Ojo, who spoke to Punch, confirmed that she took the victim
to the policewoman’s house.
She said, “I don’t know Omolola’s
surname because a friend just introduced us and said she needed a girl.

“I then remembered that my sister-in-law was talking about having
somebody that could train Tomiwa (Ajayi), her first child, to school or learn
handwork. I quickly contacted her and she agreed to allow Tomiwa to work with
Omolara.
“I took her to Omolara in February this year and begged her to treat the
girl like her child. Anytime Tomiwa’s mother wanted to talk to the girl, it’s
through my phone.
“But sometime last week, Tomiwa’s mother was on
my neck that she wanted to speak to Omolola, her daughter’s guardian, and
Omolara started to evade calls.”

The woman said suddenly, Omolola asked to speak with her in private
about the child.
“Omolola asked me if she could talk to me in
private and I agreed, only for her to tell me about the death of Tomiwa
through a swollen leg injury.
“She asked if it was possible that
they could come with the corpse and I said it was alright, but I told my
husband about the matter.

“My mother reported the case at the Ilaro Police Station, Ogun State, on
Friday. But before then, Omolara sent three old men to calm things down; they
said they were from Oke Anglican, Ilaro, Ogun State.
“Meanwhile,
as the old men were leaving, I took a bike and followed them. Omolola, who
said she was in Ibadan, was with the corpse of the girl when the old men
joined her. I accused her of killing the girl. Tomiwa’s body was scarred; I am
in distress,” she added.
