Do such acts still happen in Nigeria?

Some women no de fear God.

Wahala

Unbelievable, how could a woman do this to her own daughter? The solution to the girl's habitual bed wetting is not by roasting her bums on a Hot Stove.
Back in the 80's when we were kids, the cure to bed wetting is by placing a dead snake on our waist while we are asleep. and after few days, bed wetting stops!!!

MOD's plz move this topic to front page for others to learn.

This is terrible. IF Police can let the woman sit on hot stove for at least two hour, the woman will learn her lesson.

This woman should be flogged and told to kneel down to beg her victim. Also,she shouldbe made to pay heavy compensation.
Im vert upset with her.
