Horrifying! Woman arrested after nailing the head of her 10-year-old maid
A Nigerian woman identified as, Mrs Ifeoma Ezeugwu has been arrested by the police in Enugu state for drilling nails into the head of a-10 years old girl, Miss Chinonye Nnadi, who served as her housemaid.
The woman also allegedly used hot electric iron to torture the young girl.
This was made known by the Chairperson of the WomenAids Collective WACOL, Prof. Joy Ngozi Ezeilo, who said her office was alerted about the case on Friday. She said;
“This is gory and torture of a young innocent girl whose only crime is being born to a poor widow who had to give her up to live with someone in the hope that she will get an education and survive.
We pray that she recovers. We demand full wrath of the law on this woman that inflicted such a level of physical injury on this girl. I spoke to the distraught mother of the victim.
She is a poor widow living in a rural village in Aku, near Nsukka, Enugu state. It is time to eradicate child labour, ban and punish heavily anyone using children as domestic help.
The Child Rights Act and the NAPTIP Act must be effectively enforced. WACOL will follow through to ensure that justice is done in this matter.”
