A Nigerian woman has been charged with murdering her four-year-old son in the UK, a court has heard.

Oluwakemi Badare, 36, is accused of killing Kingswealth Bayode at her home in Plumstead, south-east London by allegedly drowning him in a bath.

The child was reportedly discovered “lifeless” on Sunday, December 27.

Badare, who is being held at Bronzefield Prison was represented by a lawyer for the 10-minute administrative hearing at the Old Bailey last week.

The court was told that emergency services were called to the address in Invermore Place on Sunday shortly before 8 am, where the boy was found dead, Igbere TV reports. Badare was arrested at the scene and taken into custody before being charged.

Judge Anthony Leonard QC listed the case for a plea hearing on March 17.
