A woman, Sakirat
Attah, 25, has been
arrested by the police
at Elemoro Division,
Lekki, Lagos,
southwest Nigeria, for
severely scalding her
son’s face.
The petty trader who
resides at Abijo village
in Ibeju Lekki, allegedly
carried out the
dastardly act while
punishing little Daniel for
licking their neighbour’s
soup.
P.M.NEWS gathered that
Sakirat also used a
broken bottle to stab
Daniel in the head during
her fit of anger and he
sustained a deep cut in
the head
A police source told
P.M.NEWS that the
victim’s neighbours
rescued him from the
mother and quickly
rushed him to a nearby
hospital due to
excessive loss of blood.
P.M.NEWS gathered that
trouble started for the
little boy when their co-
tenant allegedly caught
him licking their pot of
soup and reported him
to his mother.
The mother of the child
was said to have
dragged her son inside
her room and locked the
door. She allegedly lit her
stove and put an iron
spoon on it to get hot
and used it to burn her
son’s face and hands as
punishment.
It was also gathered
that when the little boy
was not cooperating
with her, she allegedly
broke a bottle and
stabbed him in the head
before neighbours who
allegedly heard the boy
crying for help entered
the woman’s room and
rescued him.
During interrogation, the
little boy allegedly
admitted licking the
soup because he was
seriously hungry since
his mother did not
provide food for him to
eat on time.
The neighbours, it was
learnt, reported the
matter to the police
who arrested the
woman.
During interrogation,
she allegedly admitted
scalding her son with
hot spoon to teach him
a lesson not to steal
again, adding that she
did not know that the
torture would cause the
boy such injuries.
After investigation, she
was charged before an
Igbosere Magistrate’s
Court, Lagos on a one
count charge of
assaulting a minor
occasioning bodily harm.
The offence, the
prosecutor, Supol E. C.
Ekuma said,
contravened section
171 of the Criminal Law
of Lagos State, 2011.
The accused pleaded
not guilty to the charge
and the presiding chief
magistrate, Mrs. Femi
Segun admitted her on
bail in the sum of
N100,000 with two
sureties in like sum
with proof of two
years tax payment to
the Lagos State
Government.
She also directed that
one of the sureties
must be a blood
relation, while the other
must be a community
leader. She adjourned
the matter till 27 June,
2013 for mention.
The defendant was,
however, moved to
Kirikiri Prison, Apapa,
pending when she
would fulfill the bail
conditions.

BEAST in human body let her be tortured too i dont think she is the num of the boy.

Mods pls move this post to where it belongs. This is politics section, not a place for story telling. I beg yu mods.

Where are the pictures?

In nigeria, it's all about prison, prison!! Some of these people have anger issues or mental imbalance, it's also the job of the state to help them out, therefore saving their life, preventing them from attacking other. Rather than throwing everyone in jail.
