A young girl of 10,
Chidinma, has been admitted to the hospital after a couple – Eucharia
Chukwuma and Jerry Oko-Oboh – beat her up and stabbed her in the private
parts with a broken bottle.
The
incident happened at shared residence of the couple and the victim’s
family, on Joshua Street, Agbabiaka, in the Ajangbadi area of Lagos.
It was
learnt that the couple assaulted 10-year-old Chidinma for allegedly
touching the vagina of their three-year-old daughter, Peace who cried
and reported to her parents that Chidinma fiddled with her private
parts.
Chidinma
however denied the allegation and said she had only played with Peace
at about 7pm on April 6 but didn't touch her privates.
Angered
by the report, Peace's 30-year-old mother, Eucharia, rushed to
Chidinma’s mother, Ofia, demanding that Chidinma follow her to her room.
A few minutes later, Ofia reportedly heard her daughter screaming and rushed to Chukwuma’s apartment to see what was wrong.
On
getting there, the door was said to have been locked by the couple who
reportedly beat up the victim repeatedly with punches. Not satisfied,
the wife allegedly stabbed Chidinma in the private parts and smeared
them with pepper.
The couple fled the neighbourhood when blood started gushing from Chidinma’s vagina.
Policemen from Okokomaiko Police Division later trailed and arrested the couple after the case was reported.
The
police said Chukwuma, in a statement she voluntarily made at the
station, confessed to stabbing the girl in the privates and rubbing
pepper, because she became furious when the girl declined comments about
Peace’s allegation.
She and her husband have however been arraigned before an Apapa Magistrate’s Court on three counts bordering on assault.
This is very interesting....Her daughters privates were allegedly fondled with and she reacted.
The little girl whose privates was fondled with couldnt have lied....
How does one react in a situation like this?
