Eko Hot Blog reports that the Nigeria Police Force has paraded an Anambra-based lawyer, Adachukwu Okafor, who was recently apprehended for allegedly assaulting her 10-year-old househelp.

The police had declared the lawyer wanted and placed a N2m bounty on her for allegedly using a red-hot knife, an electric pressing iron, and other weapons to brutalize the underage househelp.

At a press briefing in Abuja, Police spokesperson ACP Olumiyiwa Adejobi said it was a case of attempted murder and child abuse. He explained that the househelp had only worked for two weeks before the incident.

Adejobi said the suspect accused the househelp of fondling her 6-year-old son while bathing him. “On January 29, 2024, this suspect accused her of this and proceeded to tie her hands, mouth and flog her. She also inserted a hot knife into her private part and poured ground pepper into it,” he stated.

The police reiterated commitment to prosecuting the case and ensuring justice for the househelp.

Minister of Women Affairs Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye urged the public to speak out against violence, saying: “You see any bad thing, you shout out; if you don’t shout out, you will die in silence.”

The suspect denied inflicting injuries, claiming the househelp fell on a burning gas cylinder while trying to flee.
