A young woman and mother of two, Mrs. Ifeoma Ozougwu, has murdered
sleep, as she had driven six inches nail into the skull of her maid,
little Miss Nneoma Nnadi in Enugu state.
She was also said to have inserted grinded red pepper into the girl’s
private part and locked her inside their toilet.
The young woman and her husband Mr. Ozougwu from Aku, in Igbo Etiti
Local Government Area of Enugu State, who are cooling off in police
custody at the Enugu Area Command, were said to have been maltreating
the little girl for a long time, inflicting her with bruises all over
her body.
Newsmen gathered that the nail in the skull was the last straw that
broke the camels back on Thursday at their Thinkers Corner residence,
where she locked her in their toilet after driving the nail into her
skull.
It was further gathered that their neighbours were the ones who
alerted the police severally but each time the police visited, they
would search the whole house without seeing the girl.
The neighbours investigated and found out that the girl was constantly
locked inside their toilet where she eats feases at times.
Help came to the nine-year-old girl, when the neighbours alerted the
police to the girl’s incarceration and they went, searched the toilet
and found the girl locked inside.
The police swiftly rescued the little girl, arrested the woman and
took the girl to Enugu State University of Science and Technology
Teaching Hospital, where she is currently receiving intensive care.
Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer, ASP,
Daniel Ndukwe, said the incident was being investigated and that the
Commissioner of Police has directed that if found culpable, the woman
and whoever that is involved should be prosecuted.
While being questioned at the Area Command, Ifeoma said the most of
the bruises on Nneoma’s body were the handiwork of her husband as she
only gave her small mark.
She said, it was her husband that gave her the big wounds with hot
iron, while she gave her small more at back with hot iron.
