The Minister of Women Affairs, Dame Pauline Tallen has expressed dismay over to the death of an 11-year-old housemaid in Plateau State.

The maid whose name was given as Margaret died as a result of domestic violence championed by her guardian, Ms. Edozie Nwachukwu, in Vom, Jos South Local Government Area of the state.

According to a statement obtained by Africa Investigative Magazine, the domestic staff ran to her neighbour who quickly took her to the hospital after Nwachukwu allegedly poured hot water on her buttocks.

The maid was later, transferred to Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH), where she gave up on ghosts due to the loss of blood.

The Minister, however, condemned the act, warning that such atrocities committed by guardians against domestic staff must not be tolerated.
