Here's the story:

According to The Punch, a nanny who goes by the name of Motunrayo Azeez (27) is accusing her madam, Nollywood actress Wunmi Toriola of brutalizing her in her estate at Gbagada area of Lagos State.

This is what happened according to the nanny, Motunrayo:

After school hours, Motunrayo picked her madam's son from school and took him home. When they got home, Motunrayo claims that she fed the child and took him outside the compound to play. Shortly after, Motunrayo discovered that the boy was running a temperature and so decided to give him medication.

What Motunrayo did not know was that her madam, Wunmi was watching her through CCTV that was connected to her mobile phone. Wunmi got angry and called Motunrayo. According to Motunrayo,

She asked why I gave the baby drugs without her permission and I apologized for that, but she started accusing me of always drugging her son to make him sleep and I told her that yesterday (Friday) was the first time I would give him the drugs: Paracetamol and Vitamin C, with the cough drug she bought. I was surprised about the allegation because I had no reason to drug her son; but she said she did not want to meet me at home when she returned. So, I packed my bags and sat at the entrance of the gate outside, but she later called the gateman not to allow me to go out.

When she came back around 8pm, she started shouting and cursing me. She later said I should enter her car that we were going to a police station. I entered the car because my mind was clean towards her and her son. Instead of driving to the police station, she drove to the estate gate and dropped me with the guards and told them that they must not allow me to go. She started beating me at the gate and later carried me back home. When we got home, she ordered that I should be locked inside a room; later, her husband called a soldier, who came to beat me with a horsewhip and used electric shocker on me.

After all this, Motunrayo said that Wunmi still vowed to lock her up in the house for three weeks while monitoring her son's health. It wasn't until Motunrayo's mother pleaded on her behalf that the actress reportedly took Motunrayo to a police station to write an undertaking. Motunrayo said:

After we left the police station, she suddenly parked in the middle of the road and started beating me and dragging my phone that she wanted to seize it. She scattered my clothes on the road; people were just watching us, thinking we were acting a movie. But when they saw that I came outside the car and started crying and begging her, they asked me what happened. She later gave me my phone and drove off. I was packing my clothes from the road with the help of people when I explained what happened to them. They told me to report her to the police; two people followed me to report at the station. 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.

Now, everything you've read up to this point is Motunrayo's side of the story. Here is what Wunmi has to say.

According to Wunmi, the actress, she claims she never beat Motunrayo. According to her, her son had slept for days before the day in question and so seeing Motunrayo giving him drugs raised her suspicions. She also said that neighbors had reported to her that the nanny, Motunrayo, always beat her child. According to Wunmi:

Apparently, she (Motunrayo) knew that there was a camera inside, so she would take the boy outside and beat him. One week later, I discovered that my son that was active was just sleeping, so catching her on camera giving him drugs raised my suspicion. My son’s cough had gone like two weeks ago, so for her to still be giving him cough drugs without telling me that my son was running a temperature or coughing means she intentionally gave my son the drugs around 6pm so that he could sleep and she could press her phone. When I got home, I asked what happened; I didn’t beat her because when I attempted to beat her, she dodged my hand. I called my husband, and he told me not to take any step till he got back. When he came, he called the police to pick her to go and write a statement. But I was the one begging on her behalf that they should not take her away because her people were also begging me.

Hmm. So that's the story.

This one is very complicated to me. On the one hand, I can see how it looks from Wunmi's point of view seeing her nanny give her son drugs without telling her, especially after noticing strange sleeping patterns and all the rumors the neighbors had been saying. But then on the other hand, if I'm to believe what Motunrayo is saying and she only gave the boy paracetamol and Vitamin C because he was running temperature, then Wunmi is the villain and what she allegedly did was not only way too much, it was a horrible thing to do to another human being, especially one just looking out for your child.

This one pass me. I don't know who to believe or what to think. Abeg, what do you think? Please, let me know what you think by leaving a comment on my Facebook post. I can't wait to hear your thoughts.
