An 8-year-old girl has died in Lagos after she was beaten to death by her female employer. The suspect, who is a mother-of-two and pregnant with her third, was reportedly in the habit of maltreating the victim and a second house help living with her.

According to neighbours, the suspect, known as Oby in her neighbourhood in Isolo, 'usually beats and overworks' the deceased, Miracle Edegwu, and her colleague. She had also withdrawn both girls from school after she brought them from Anambra state to Lagos. When neighbours confronted her about the way she treated the girls, she remained defiant and told them to mind their business.

Early on Saturday morning, she launched another attack on the little girl, leading to her death.

After Miracle died, Oby tried to cover her death by contacting people to assist in covertly disposing of the body but they were caught by neighbours who then reported to the authorities. The suspect was then detained at the Isolo Police Division.

The victim’s corpse had been deposited at the Isolo General Hospital.

As for the maid may her gently soul rest in peace and for boss that killed him. Jail is now your new home right from now.

The kind of beaten that she cannot beat her own children. Judgement is waiting for her in the court of law.

Even at this level of madness our govt will still do nothing, I'm tired of happenings in Nigeria.

same blame goes to the parents that knows how to give birth only for them to sent their kidds out as help house. you can't feed well but you keep producing children to suffer.
