The Ogun State Police Command has arrested Fatimoh Olanrewaju, for allegedly breaking the arms and legs of her 5-year-old stepson, Iyanu.
According to Punch, the toddler is currently on admission at Federal Medical Centre, Idi Aba, Abeokuta.
It was learnt that the biological mother of the victim divorced the father about two years ago, leaving the victim with his father.
