House wife injures maid genital in Edo 

Operatives of Edo State Police Command have arrested a 31-year-old woman for reportedly inflicting injuries on the genital of her 15 years old maid in Uromi, Esan South East Local Government Area of Edo state.

The suspect, identified as Mrs. Abigail Oluwarotimi, was said to have also deposited some contraceptive substances in the maid.

The State police command spokesman, CSP Moses Yamu, in a statement issued on Monday, said the suspect “heated a metal object in fire and used it to inflict burns on her house help laps and genitals.”

Yamu noted that the suspect confessed to the crime and blamed her action on allegation that the minor molested her children.

He warned the public against taking laws into their hands rather than allowing the law take its course.

Blueprint gathered that Mrs. Abigail reportedly accused the maid of raping her three years daughter.

It was further learnt that the house help is a pupil of Idumeka primary school in Igueben.

He was reportedly handed over to the headmistress of the school after she approached his mother, Blessing Kadir, requesting that the pupil should be allowed to stay with her at Uromi as maid.

It was learnt that the minor’s mother had rejected the request, but the headmistress reportedly pleaded that she noticed the good quality of the minor.

The minor’s mother was said to have later agreed to allow him to go with the headmistress.

However, sources said the headmistress later handed over the minor to his son’s wife, Mrs Abigail Oluwarotimi, to reside permanently with them as a maid.

The mother of the minor, Blessing Kadir, said he was however taken aback when she saw her son on January 9, in her compound at Idumeka quarters, walking abnormal.

Blessing explained that upon interrogation, the victim said the Head-teacher later gave him to her son’s wife who inflicted injuries on his genital.
