The Anambra State Police Command has nabbed two women, a 34-year-old Nneka Ayaene and 22-year-old Chinenye Okoh for allegedly scalding a 10-year-old house help with hot water.
It was gathered that the police arrested the women following a distress call to police operatives attached to Oko Police Station.
The suspects who hail from Ndiowu town in Orumba North LGA of Anambra State, allegedly assaulted their 10-year-old house-help Chidimma Nworie Ani, by pouring hot water on her which caused injuries all over her body due to her inability to wait and return the bowl of water she brought for the suspects.
According to the Police Public Relations Officer, Haruna Mohammed, police operatives visited the scene and rushed the victim to Best Hospital Oko for medical attention where she is presently responding to treatment.
“The suspects have been charged to magistrate court Nanka for prosecution after the conclusion of the investigation. The case was adjourned to 10/2/2021 and suspects remanded at the Correctional Centre Onitsha.”
