Cruelty! Trader Pours Hot Water On 12-year-old, Reason Will Shock You. by Iyamar(f): 10:26am On Jan 21, 2016 |
The police in Lagos have arrested a 39-year-old trader,
Chinwe Abasi, for allegedly brutalising a 12-year-old boy,
Chinedu Okorie, with hot water in the Apapa area of the
state.
Abasi, a mother of two, who hails from Nnewi, Anambra
State, allegedly poured hot water on the boy because he
collected N100 from a neighbour to buy a pair of socks to
wear to school without the woman’s knowledge.
PUNCH Metro learnt that Okorie, who is in Junior Secondary
School 1, also worked as a sales
assistant for Abasi, who sold cloth materials in the Oyingbo
Market.
It was gathered that last Monday when schools resumed,
Okorie told Abasi that he would need to buy a pair of socks
for school.
The trader allegedly ignored the boy until Thursday when a
neighbour, identified only as Usman, gave Okorie N100 to
buy the pair of socks.
It was gathered that when Abasi learnt that the boy had
collected money from Usman to buy the pair of socks, she
became angry and beat up the boy.
The 12-year-old was said to have ran to the kitchen during
the flogging. Abasi allegedly grabbed an electric kettle of
boiling water and emptied it on the boy.
The matter was reported at the FESTAC Police Division and
the trader was arrested.
It was gathered that the matter was also reported to the
Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team,
and a temporary shelter was provided for the boy, where he
also received medical attention.
Speaking with PUNCH Metro, Okorie, who hails from Enugu
State, said he was forced to collect the N100 from Usman
because he had no other option.
He said:
“I told madam (Abasi) last Monday that I needed to buy a
pair of socks for school. My teachers would seize my
sandals without it. But she did not buy them, and I went to
collect money from our neighbour.
“When she saw the pair of socks, she became angry and
started to beat me. I ran into the kitchen. That was where
she grabbed the electric kettle and poured the content ─ hot
water ─ on me. It was around 7pm on Thursday.”
The trader, however, told PUNCH Metro that she did not
deliberately brutalise the boy, adding that everyone knew
she treated Okorie like her son.
She said:
“On Monday, pupils resumed school, and Chinedu (Okorie)
told me he needed a pair of socks and I said I would buy
them for him. Unfortunately, when I came back, I forgot.
Later, our neighbour said Chinedu collected N100 from him
to buy the pair of socks. I was angry.
I queried him and warned him against the behaviour. On
Thursday, I gave him N100 to buy another pair of socks.
When he came back, he told me he used the money for
something else. So, I beat him up.
There were times when I gave him N1,000 to go and buy
fuel. He would spend three hours and later say he misplaced
the money. So, I disciplined him on Thursday.
“He ran into the kitchen, and that was when I mistakenly
poured the water on him.
I sell clothes at the Oyingbo Market. He is my domestic
help. I brought him from his village in Enugu State about
four years ago. The boy is stubborn. I am not a bad
woman.”
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo
Badmos, confirmed the arrest, adding that the suspect
would be charged to court.
She said, “The suspect has been arrested, and she will be
charged to court.”
