22-year-old student of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun state who was rumoured to flush her baby inside one of the toilets in her hostel after giving birth narrates what actually went down.

When the news first broke, a lot of people vilified her. It was reported that she wanted to get rid of what many would describe as a bundle of joy. People thus wondered why a 22-year-old undergraduate would try to flush away her baby in one of the toilets in Moremi Hall, her hall of residence at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State.

Without clarifying the circumstances that led to the delivery in the toilet, they went on to social media networks,  putting on trial Miss Oyinlola Rotimi, the 400-Level student of Agricultural Extension and Rural Sociology at OAU, who delivered a baby boy on Wednesday.

Based on reports I acquired this morning from students of Obafemi Awolowo University, a lady student of the college gave birth in the Moremi Hostel hall toilet and attempted to flush the infant but was caught my the hall cleaners. They say the girl's name is Oyin ( surname unknown  for now) and she's a 400l student of Electrical and Electronics Engineering. The incident happened very early this morning. Based on students of the college who sent in the photo, a cleaner heard a baby crying inside among the toilet stalls and then saw blood originating from underneath the door.

She quickly went to call other cleaners around and they forced the door open. Once the cleaners entered the toilet they saw the student pouring water within the closet, the infant turned ugly, with the head within the closet. Among the women dipped her hand inside and removed the baby...A boy, who had been still quite definitely alive but bleeding from the nose. The cleaners called school management who rushed both your ex and the infant to Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital for treatment. The placenta fell while they were rushing the girl to the hospital.

I personally think this inhuman behavior deserve to face maximum jail terms for attempted murder.
