A video of the young man and the baby had gone viral on Monday.
The man, who held the baby in his arms, pushed the lit joint into her mouth intermittently after grabbing a puff.
A female was heard in the background laughing as the man carried on with the act.

Adejobi said the wanted must be arrested to face the wrath of the law.
“Every one of us can see this again. How did he get the baby? His son? Or niece or cousin? Whatever it is, mothers must learn from this, do not entrust your baby to wrong hands.
“Not everyone can babysit or take care of your baby for you. We need more info about him.
“He must be caused to face the wrath of the law. This is too bad. But above all, mothers must learn from this. Ire o,” he posted.
