The lady whose video went viral after accusations that she fed an alcoholic substance to a newborn caused considerable uproar has reportedly stepped forward to explain what happened, according to a story by The Cable on Wednesday, July 9, 2025.
She clarified in a new video statement that the item was actually Coca-Cola placed into a reused sachet, not Action Bitters as many had assumed.
The original video, which depicted her giving the drink to her baby with the remark “every night just for her to sleep,” caused widespread outrage online and led to an investigation by the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
There were demands for her arrest and for child protection officials to step in since many Nigerians thought the lady had sedated her child with an alcoholic drink.
Defending herself, the unnamed woman said that the whole video was contrived to get people talking online and was never meant to be taken seriously. She confessed that she had sipped from an empty herbal drink sachet and replaced it with a popular soft drink in order to mimic the act of “content creation.”
To address the footage that has gone viral, I must say the following. She stated in the video that was posted on Wednesday that it wasn’t what people are reporting. “I didn’t consume any alcoholic beverage; I used Coca-Cola.
After washing the sachet, I added Coke to it. I can even provide video evidence of my performance. No parent should ever intentionally put their child in risk by giving them something harmful.
The mother-of-five said she would never drink alcohol to her infant, who is only five months old. “I refuse to be that type of mum. Even Action Bitters aren’t something I consume. The stuff it attempted to create was subpar. In hindsight, I see how foolish that was.
She conceded that the public’s reaction had taught her a hard lesson and that she had been wrong to ignore it. She begged the audience for their pardon and pledged to be more conscientious from now on. “All we wanted to do was make some content.
In hindsight, I see how naive it was. Additionally, she pleaded with the Nigerian people to pardon them. Meanwhile, there has been no new information regarding the investigation’s status from law enforcement. Whether or whether her most recent explanation will lead to prosecution is still up in the air.
