A woman identified as
Mrs Aminot Otun has
been arrested by the
Lagos State Police
Command for roasting
the right hand of her
seven-year-old step-
son, Awwal Otun.
Awwal’s hand was
allegedly roasted for
adding drops of liquid
disinfectant to his
bath water.
According to Ngozi
Ekwerike-Okoro,
President, Child to Child
Network, a Non-
governmental
Organisation, NGO, a
distressed call from
one of Otun’s
neighbours at 59,
Suenu Street, Surulere,
Lagos saved Awwal’s
life.
Awwal was rushed to
the Mother and Child
Hospital at Gbaja
where another drama
ensued as the doctor
on duty refused to
treat or admit the boy
despite pleas that the
hospital was built
purposely for mothers
and children in the
state.
Awwal was later
taken to a nearby
private hospital for
treatment and he is
currently at Juvenile
Welfare Centre of
Alakara Police Station.
According to his
teachers, Awwal, a
Primary One pupil,
should not be allowed
to go back to his step-
mother because he
always went back to
school with bruises.
Neighbours who
pleaded anonymity
said that had been the
normal punishment for
the boy’s mistakes.
