Sad 😔 Story of how a 2 year old Boy drowned in water drum in Lagos; police arrest grandma, father .

 A two-year-old boy, Eniola Ajakaye, lost his life, drowned inside a drum of water while holidaying with his grandmother in Aboru, in the Iyana Ipaja area of Lagos State. PUNCH Metro learnt that the police arrested the victim’s father, Sunday Ajakaye, a mechanic, and Sunday’s 65-year-old mother, after the boy’s mother, Mary, accused them of complicity in the death. They were reportedly detained at the Oke Odo Police Division for alleged murder. A resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Eniola drowned around 2pm on Foursquare  Street, Ago 40 Estate, where his grandma lived. He said, “The woman had gone out for a church programme, leaving him with some other children who had come to holiday with her. “She was called on the telephone that the boy was missing. People searched for him for hours without any success. “When it was evening, a woman said she saw something inside a water drum in the house.
When they checked the drum, they found Eniola there.” The boy was reportedly taken to a private hospital in the area where he was confirmed dead. Another resident, Jide Thompson, said the family took the dead child back to the house and invited some pastors to bring him back to life, adding that all the effort was in vain.
 It was learnt that Mary’s family did not believe the account of the grandmother as they insisted that there was more to the death than meet the eye, adding that the Ajakaye family had a case to answer. The police subsequently arrested the grandma, Sunday and another relative who reportedly raised the alarm when the boy went missing. Investigation by Punch's correspondent showed that there had been bad blood between the two families since Mary became pregnant with Eniola. Their correspondent learnt from a source that Sunday had rejected Eniola’s pregnancy. He said, “The man is a mechanic and can barely fend for himself. When Mary, his lover, became pregnant, he rejected the pregnancy.
