A 29-year-old woman has been arrested following a ruthless torture on her stepdaughters resulting to various injuries on their body. They are Vera (10-year-old girl) and Favour (5-year-old).

The woman, Chidima Nnachi, reportedly beat up Vera, rubbed pepper on her eyes and burned her back with a hot knife because Vera, a primary four pupil of Ola Olu Montessori School, went to play after returning from school on February 7, 2018.

Chidima Nnachi also reportedly injured 5-year-old Favour on the forehead and inserted pepper in her eyes for allegedly soiling her body.
The family, including Nnachi’s husband, live at Aso Rock Street, Brucknor Estate, Ejigbo, Lagos State.

While the children were rescued and taken into protective custody by the Office of the Public Defender of the state Ministry of Justice, Nnachi was arrested by the police from the Ejigbo division.

Punch Metro reports that the children’s mother died in 2012 after she gave birth to Favour.

A neighbour, identified simply as Olajide, was said to have reported the case at the Ejigbo Police Division and the suspect was apprehended.

Olajide told the police that Nnachi had been maltreating the children for a long time, adding that Vera’s groans on that day prompted him to make a report.

He said: “It was a neigbour who called my attention to the maltreatment of the children by their stepmother. I witnessed the torture of the girl (Vera) by her stepmother.

She beat her for about three hours on that day. I was sad and informed the community development association chairman who advised that that we should report the case to the police.”

Vera said she had returned from her school some distance away from the house on the day with Favour, but returned to the school premises to play.

She said when she returned home around 3.30pm, she met her stepmother, who beat her up with a stick for playing on the street.

The girl added that the woman (her stepmother) put a knife in a burning liquefied petroleum gas (cooking gas) for some minutes and pressed it on her back.
