The parents of a toddler in Benue state are reportedly battling to save the life of their four-year-old daughter as she became partially paralysed after she was allegedly hit by her aunt.

A social media user Ukan Kurugh shared the story of the little girl Erdoo Amu on Facebook and a video showing the girl on the bed at Benue State University Teaching Hospital.

According to Kurugh, Erdoo told her aunt who was teaching her how to read and write that she was tired and needed to take some rest.

Probably angered by the little girl’s request, the yet-to-be-identified aunt reportedly hit her on the head.

The social media user said Erdoo fell and hit her head on the tiles of the sitting room.

Kurugh added that the aunt, who is a staff of Makurdi local government area of Benue state, has abandoned the girl and her family at the hospital.

He wrote:

“Could This Be Accident Or Wickedness?

“For demanding that she needed to take a break from her lesson, Erdoo Luper Amu, four years is now battling with life at the Benue State University Teaching Hospital (BSUTH) Makurdi.

“Her helpless father, Luper Amu said he initially declined to honour the request to allow his daughter to live in Makurdi with Laadi Terhemba Amo, who is now the reason why his daughter is battling with life.

“According to the father of the four-year old, his daughter incured the wrath of Mrs. Amo when she complained that she could no longer continue with “reading” and be allowed time to rest.

“Angered(?) by the request, Mrs. Amo is said to have hit the little girl on her head, as she fall on the tiles floor of her living room. But Erdoo’s forearms and head, her body system from the waist to the hind limbs are not moving.

“I’ll furnish you with details of the situation here as soon as am done with investigation.
