A Nigerian woman identified as Ifeoma Ezeugwu has been arrested by The Enugu state Police Command for allegedly drilling nails in two places into the head of her 10-years old house help, Miss Chinonye Nnadi.
Chairperson of the WomenAids Collective WACOL, Prof. Joy Ngozi Ezeilo said that her office was alerted on Friday about the case. It was equally reported that the lady also tortured the girl with a hot pressing iron.
Prof. Joy in her words 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 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 punish heavily anyone using children as domestic help.
The Child Right Act and the NAPTIP Act must be effectively enforced. WACOL will follow through to ensure that justice is done in this matter.
