Lagos: Nneka and Chimezie Ononaku unwittingly poisoned their own four-month-old son. Giving him what they thought was a baby teething medicine, they were in fact dosing him with anti-freeze. The bottle had been contaminated with a toxic chemical called diethylene glycol and in the last few weeks over 30 children here in Nigeria are thought to have died from the syrup. The mixture was called 'My Pikin', which when tested by Nigeria's Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, or NAFDAC, produced results horrifying for any parent.
