Breaking News: Suspect Arrested for Horrific Abuse of 7-Year-Old Maid in Ideato
The Stand For Humanity Foundation has announced the arrest of a woman in Ideato, Imo State, accused of severely abusing her 7-year-old maid. The child was reportedly disfigured, burned with a candle on her vagina, and scalded with hot water across her body.
Ekwutosblog has gathered that efforts are underway to transfer the suspect to the State CID Owerri for further investigation, and the victim is being admitted to a hospital in Owerri for urgent medical care. The foundation has condemned the act, joining calls to say no to child abuse, battery, molestation, and dehumanization.
