A seven-year-old girl, Mazichukwu, is battling with burns allegedly inflicted on her by her aunt, whom she lives with on Josiah Aina Street, Alakuko, Lagos State.

The aunt, Mrs Loveth Ozoihu, reportedly punished the girl by beating her with a hot knife for allegedly stealing chewing gum belonging to their neighbour’s child.

PUNCH Metro learnt that Ozoihu, a trader, had sent Mazichukwu to give the neighbour the change for the goods she bought from her. The girl reportedly met the woman’s kid holding the candy and collected it from her. She was said to have returned home, chewing the gum, which she confessed to have collected from the neighbour’s kid when her aunt asked her where she got it from.

Enraged by Mazichukwu’s conduct, Ozoihu reportedly lit a gas cooker at midnight and put a knife on the burner. She reportedly placed the hot knife on the girl’s buttocks, leaving her to groan with pains. It was learnt that the Enugu State indigene later took the girl to a chemist’s shop, where a substance was applied to the injury.

A good Samaritan, who got wind of the assault, reported the case to the police at the Alakuko Division and Ozoihu was arrested. In her statement to the police, the 25-year-old suspect denied assaulting the girl, but claimed that Mazichukwu mistakenly sat on the burner.

But Mazichukwu faulted her aunt’s claim before the police, insisting that the woman inflicted the burns on her buttocks.

Ozoihu was subsequently arraigned before an Ogba Magistrates’ Court on one count of assault occasioning harm.

Crazy ass woman...

No help ever lived with me that never ate same food, went to same school, or equal priviledge with my kids. Never!
Do not bring in a help when you do not have a heart to accommodate another child.

A lot of Nigerians are actually angry heartless people always ready to quote the Bible to disguise their hypocritical ways.

Stupid country

Common chewing gum 4 dat matter

The woman said that the girl “mistakeningly sat on the burner?“ Can you imagine
The government should enforce stricter laws for punishing all these evil acts. It's becoming one too many.

Wickedness I'm sure she is a Yoruba coneheaded woman

Where's NCAN when u need them?

I still maintain that the poorest among us are usually the most wicked and heartless of us all. They are usually pissed and angry at all except themselves for their predicaments and sorry lives. Throw in a not so good looking poor person into the mix and you'd have an advanced Boko Haram to contend with.

My verdict is...

Return that knife back on that gas burner to smelter for about 30 minutes, and then use it to elongate the length and breadth of the woman's Vaginatu..

Evil people..

Why are Eastern women this wicked. The baby factories business is making them less humane to children. If you think i am joking, google online for child abuse cases. 70% are from women of Eastern origin.

Yoruba women and wickedness

Just because of ordinary shegum

and so fokn what?

As religious as we are we are still this wicked. We need to show more love among ourselves and live like human beings and not wild animals.

It's a two way thing. I don't support the use of hot knife but honestly it's disappointing to hear some people say stuff like common chewing gum. That's where it starts and then becomes something serious
