A woman identified as Kehinde has been accused by her neighbours in Lagbasa, Ajah area of Lagos, of dipping the hands of her 2-year-old step daughter, Esther, into hot boiling water inflicting serious damage to the girl’s hands.
Albeit Kehinde denied the allegations, her neigbours claimed that the mother of three who was brought in by Esther’s father popularly known as Baba Eleja, when Esther lost her mum when she was barely a year old had been maltreating the little girl.
According to one of her neighbour; “She is always beating the girl with canes. You can even see scars of the wounds that her canes inflicted on the girl’s body. Since we noticed what happened to Esther, we have moved her away from the woman. Earlier today, when the girl saw her stepmother, she was so terrified that she cried and ran away. That shows she (Kehinde) has been wicked to her. I advise the relatives of the girl’s mother to take her away from her father so that something more terrible than this doesn’t happen to her.”
Kehinde however claimed Esther mistakenly dip both hands into the hot water she kept for her own use.
The matter has since been reported to the police.
