Nigerian actress Wunmi Toriola has been accused of brutalizing her nanny, Motunrayo Azeez.
Azeez claimed that she was attacked over allegations of drugging the actress’ son at their residence on Medina Estate in the Gbagada area of Lagos State.
It was gathered that Toriola, who went to work on Friday, left her son in the care of Azeez.
Then the nanny went to pick the boy after school hours and took him home.
When they got home, Azeez claimed that she fed the child and took him outside the compound to play.
Shortly afterwards, the nanny said she discovered that the boy was running a temperature and she gave him some medication.
Matters took another turn when Toriola, who was monitoring the situation on a CCTV device connected to her mobile phone, became angry.
The 27-year-old nanny noted that the actress vowed to lock her up in the house for three weeks to monitor her son’s health.
However, when Azeez’s mother pleaded on her behalf, the actress reportedly took her to a police station to write an undertaking. “I didn’t get myself with the beating I received from her and the soldier. I want justice because I only gave her son drugs out of a pure mind.”
Toriola, who claimed that she didn’t beat Azeez, said her son had slept for days before and seeing the nanny giving him drugs without her permission raised her suspicion.
She alleged that neighbors had reported to her that the nanny always beat her child.
She said, “Apparently, she knew that there was a camera inside, so she would take the boy outside and beat him.
“I don’t want a case because her mother called me from Epe, begging me to let her go, which I did only for me to now get your message. Now, I’m going to open the case; I’m going to take the case to Panti (SCIID); I have all the evidence of what she did.”
