Nigerian Boy, 6 Drowns in Pool 2 Months After Relocating to Canada with his Family

A family’s dream of a new life in Canada turned into a nightmare Monday night after their young son drowned in a swimming pool in Saint-Leonard, Quebec.The 6-year-old boy named Bukumi was the oldest of three children, living with their mother, 31-year-old Bukola Babayemi, and had only just arrived in Quebec, Canada, from Nigeria, via the United States, in April.

Witnesses told CTV Montreal that the swimming pool, located outside an apartment building in the city’s Saint-Leonard neighbourhood, was crowded on Monday around 7 p.m. when the boy drowned. The child slipped under the water and was spotted unconscious at the bottom of the pool, witnesses said.

There was one lifeguard on duty, witnesses say, and she jumped into the pool and pulled the child to the deck. She immediately performed chest compressions on the child but was unable to revive the boy.
Speaking with the Journal de Montreal, the boy’s mother, Bukola Babayemi, said they moved into their apartment two days before the tragedy. The grieving woman said the family of four decided to leave their empty apartment and go to the pool to try and beat the heat.

Before entering the water she told her son to stay close, but for a quick moment lost sight of him while tending to her other children who are 3-years and 10-months old. It was after that handful of seconds that the boy was found under the water.

Raynald Hawkins of the Quebec Lifesaving Society told CTV Montreal, when children are involved that’s all it takes.”A drowning situation for kids is only 15 to 20 seconds. It’s very silent,” he said.Witness Diane Lambert said the child’s mother was in a state of nervous shock and was rushed to the hospital to be treated for shock.
“I just see the little boy there on the floor and he was trying to breathe and she was pumping the heart, and he never came back,” Lambert told CTV Montreal.

DNA SAGA: Actor Yomi Fabiyi Writes Mohbad’s Widow; Wumi Aloba

Dear Wunmi,

A DNA CAN BE REQUESTED BY MOHBAD’S FAMILY

I share in your family’s pain in the loss of Mohbad. May God forgive his sins. I am writing you based on the prolonged arguments on the issue of DNA concerning Mohbad’s son and ongoing investigation into the actual cause of his death.

The following reasons are why you can be compelled for a DNA TEST by Mohbad’s family:

i) From the look of things, Mohbad’s death is tilting towards “HOMCIDE” owing to events that happened in the last 48 hours before the singer d1ed. The coroner inquest is an investigation and needs closure before charges.

ii) In a saner cline, those around the deceased, those who tampered with the active crime scenes, are SUSPECTS and should have been taken in for questioning, which include you.

iii) If there is evidence/accusation of infidelity around the time of conception against you or re-occuring domstic violnce (and no clear reasons for conflicts), chances are the cause is due to paternity Only a DNA test can vindicate you, dear. It’s your advantage.

iv) if Liam will inherit the late singer’s estate and the likely cause of his muder is within the house, the family as a legally interested party can ask you honourably or through the court to conduct a DNA before you can be allowed custodian of their son’s properties on behalf of LIAM, etc. Moreso, the DNA will help investigators narrow their drag nets. NO ONE SHOULD OBSTRUCT POLICE or CORONER’S INVESTIGATION.

v) Mohbad, in an unverified audio released, equally accused you of wanting to kll him. No one knows if it is the normal couples’ fight or if it was due to any other sensitive issue.

vi) Anything that will bring clarity, absolve you of any wrongdoing, erase suspicion around you, get justice for Mohbad should interest you,including a DNA TEST.

vii) Your continued back and forth is an attempt to infuriate members of the public and pitch irrates youths against the Police and government. No sooner, people will conclude that someone powerful is shielding you. And that person can’t be more powerful than a determined masses.
