Nanny Suspected of Putting Rat Poison in a Two-Year-Old Child’s Meal

In Nigeria, a teacher identified as Victoria noticed a black substance in the noodles and egg brought to school by a two-year-old boy. She withheld the meal and alerted the child’s mother by sending her a video. The parents reportedly questioned their housekeeper, who allegedly admitted adding a substance described as rat poison; she is also accused of contaminating food prepared for the rest of the family. The child reportedly did not eat the meal and returned to school unharmed, but no publicly available toxicology test has confirmed that it contained rat poison.
