A Woman identified as Elizabeth Abu, who burnt her step-son’s (David Mathew Ewongolu) buttocks with hot electric iron, have been arrested by the Kogi State Government, Fresh Angle International can report.
The Kogi State Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Hajia Fatima Kabir Buba, who confirmed the incident to Our Kogi State Correspondent, this morning, Tuesday March 15, said the victim, David Ewongolu, was maltreated by her step-mother for using part of her cloth to make duster.
Buba, who condemned the incident, said after thorough interrogation by her ministry, the suspect confessed to the crime, saying, "she did not intend to inflict such pain on the boy".
She added that the boy was currently receiving treatment at the Kogi State Specialist Hospital, Lokoja.
"The Ministry of Women Affairs, will continue to collaborate with the Nigeria Police, alongside its legal team, to get justice for the abused victim. This is pure wickedness. How can a woman burn her fellow human being with hot electric iron?
"Even though the boy is not her biological son that does not give her that right to be wicked to him. We will follow this case to a logical conclusion and ensure we get justice for young David Mathew Ewongolu in the court of law. The law of the land, must take its course".
