Woman Burns 9-Year-Old House Girl With Electric Iron

                                            

Curled from Sun newspaper

Some people are just wicked, this story is about Mrs. Ifechukwu Akabekwa of Iyiowa Odekpe in Ogbaru Local Government Area of Anambra State, who treats her 9-year-old house help like a slave. The little girl Chinenye Emeka from Ebonyi state hawks for her boss in the market, while Mrs. Ifechukwu's three children do nothing. There are reports by neighbours that little Chinenye always get the beating of her life whenever she is unable to sell everything she hawks. Infact, there was a day that she was beaten to a state of coma.

Trouble started for the victim when her guardian refused to pay her school fees, saying the girl had not been able to raise the fees from the little things she hawked in the market. After waiting for her guardian to pay her school fees, luck smiled on the little girl. A philanthropist noticed that she had not been attending school while the children of her madam were always in school.

He then offered to pay the N1, 000 school fees. The victim, it was gathered, then rushed and paid her school fees. When Mrs. Akabekwa noticed that her house girl had resumed school, she was surprised. Upon inquiry, the girl told her how a philanthropist had helped her with the school fees.
That infuriated the woman. Without delay, she allegedly reached for a hot electric iron, and with it, burnt the girl’s buttocks and private parts.

She was arrested and tried, she is presently remanded in Onitsha Prison.
