A 14-year-old nanny, Chiamaka Odo, has been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for strangling her mistress’ six-month-old baby to death to please the Ogoloma cult group in Enugu State.
Speaking on behalf of the state Commissioner of Police, CP Sylvester Abiodun Alabi, the Command’s Public Relations Officer, CSP Adekunle Ajisebutu, during a press briefing, which the National Association of Online Security News Publishers (NAOSNP) attended, and held at the Command Headquarters, Ikeja, said Odo confessed to being a member of the cult.
He said, “On 6/2/2022, a 14-year-old female nanny strangled her mistress’ son, Jayden Osokolo, kept in her custody to death. The suspect, Chiamaka Odo, confessed to be a member of the Ogoloma cult group in Enugu, Enugu State.
During interrogation, she disclosed that “members of the cult group requested her to bring the blood of the deceased to the spiritual world hence she carried out the dastardly act.”
Responding to questions from members of the press, she maintained that she committed the crime as a result of instructions given to her by members of the Ogoloma cult, which she belongs to.
“There is one of my friends called Ameri. She gave me biscuits and sweets and in the night, I found myself in one place. They welcomed me.
“When I was coming to Lagos, they told me to bring blood but I said no. We did a meeting and I told them to send me to do another thing. I told them to ask for another thing and they asked me what I wanted to do. I told them I didn’t want to shed any blood but I can do any other thing.”
The 14- year-old girl added that: “They asked me what I was going to do in Lagos and I told them nanny work. So, on the night of March 5, they asked me to bring the baby I was looking after. I said I won’t bring the baby and they said they will strangle me if I don’t bring the baby.”
She continued: “I refused to bring the baby and I begged them, but they didn’t agree. So, they gave me a baby bath and said I should call the baby four times.”
Chiamaka stated that “I called the baby’s name four times and blood filled the bath. That is what happened. They come in my dream when I am sleeping. I found myself in Okoloma in Agulu, Anambra State.
“I am the last in the group. I do not do anything and I don’t eat anything.
“I came to the house on January 7. It was my uncle that brought me and they said they will pay N15,000 but they didn’t pay.”
The teenage suspect also said, “I want to leave the cult but I don’t know how to. If I want to go to church on Sunday, I won’t be able to walk again. They will make me tired until church dismisses.
