A 14 year old housemaid, Mary Akinnifesi, has been arrested in Ondo town, Ondo State, for poisoning her  63-year-old boss, Alhaji Nasir Akinlosotu. Mary was living with the family in their home until that day when the man’s wife asked her to prepare beans for them.

 When she was through, she decided to put rat poison in the husband’s food, claiming in her confessional statement that he usually beat her when she committed an offence.

 The man, who later handed the maid over to the police, said he was eating the food and had swallowed a part when he suddenly realized that the taste was strange. According to him, he later vomited the food and questioned Mary on the strange taste, and she confessed to have added rat poison to the food.

She was said to have taken the action against her master because she was rebuked  for messing up the living room with water a night before. Mary who was engaged by the victim’s wife, had stayed with the couple for two years  and had never shown such a behaviour until that night.
