A self-confessed mother has narrated the reason she killed her 18 months old baby, on interrogation after arrest.<\/p>\n
The lady, Funmilola Adisa, drowned her baby inside a bucket of water in her Gowon Estate apartment in Lagos State, the commercial nerve centre of Nigeria.<\/p>\n
To people’s amazement, it was the lady who reported herself to the police after committing the crime.<\/p>\n
The 22-year-old suspect, while in police custody, however, did not express regret over her action, rather, she took full responsibility for killing her baby.<\/p>\n
In her statement, Funmilola said she killed her one-year and six months old baby because she deprived her of fulfilling her lifetime ambition, which was to become a lawyer.<\/p>\n
“She deprived me of realising my dream of becoming a lawyer,” she said.<\/p>\n
