A woman identified as Mrs Zazi David has poured hot water mixed with pepper on her 10-year-old maid who she claims broke a plate.
According to Police spokesperson, Geoffrey Ogbonna, Mrs Zazi forced the maid, Ifunanya to also drink the mixture.
The suspect was arrested after the patent medicine store dealer she took the young girl to raised an alarm over the child’s condition.
The suspect has obviously continuously brutalised the maid said to be an orphan, resulting in visible scars of violence on her body.
A source is quoted as saying that, “The cat was let out of the bag last week Sunday when Zazi forced the victims to drink hot water with pepper. This time, the horrendous attack burnt the little girl’s lips, moth and throat.
“Perhaps, fearing that Ifunanya may die in her house, Zazi took her to a local chemist for treatment.
“The patent medicine dealer, on seeing the wounds, advised the woman to take her to a hospital, but the suspect refused, thus prompting the dealer to raise alarm.”
