The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a man, Surakat Idowu, for allegedly brutalising his five-year-old daughter with a hot iron in the Ikotun area of the state.

PUNCH Metro learnt that 45-year-old Idowu, who separated from his wife in 2013, allegedly tortured the girl with an iron in the face and in the private parts on Monday.

Our correspondent gathered that the girl, who stayed with her father on Kayode Toyeso Street, Liasu Road, in the Ikotun area, had been asked by her father to dispose faeces in a potty into the latrine, but she poured it on the floor.


It was learnt that Idowu, who worked as an auto mechanic, got a hot iron and allegedly battered the girl’s body.

Our correspondent was told that a neighbour, who witnessed the incident, reported at the Ikotun Police Division and the suspect was arrested.

The victim, who is said to be in a nursery school, was reportedly blinded by the burns she suffered on the face, while her private parts were swollen.

A neighbour, identified only as Basirat, said the girl slipped while going to pour the faeces into the latrine.

She said, “The mechanic had a quarrel with his wife and divorced her in 2013 when the girl was just two years old. On that Monday, he asked her to go and dispose of her faeces in a potty in a latrine at the backyard of the house. But the area was slippery and the girl fell, splashing the faeces on the floor.

Jesus!!! Omg.! How did human race get here? From being humans to degenerating to animals. I think a law should be made that no matter how old a child may be, the mother should be given custody during divorce or separation until the child comes of age to make decisions. This type of thing could have been avoided if the child was with the mom.

I think God is punishing Nigeria for all the wicked atrocities perpetrated in it daily or how do we explain this? Five years old?

God I pray thee, don't give kids to people who will not appropriate them, let them remain barren all their lives both men and women in Jesus mighty name
