A Madam’s Daughter Scalds House Boy With Hot Water In A Bid To Wake Him Up
Uduak, the daughter of a food seller has been arraigned for allegedly scalding the face of a 10-year-old househelp with hot water.
Cross River Watch reports that on the 24th of Nov at about 5:30 am, Uduak a 29-year-old poured boiled water on sleeping Nse, the house help. Nse’s face and arm is severely covered in burns as a result of this cruelty. When spotted by a neighbour, Mr Emmanuel Agan, on Friday 25th of November, he called on the Basic Right Counsel Initiative, a child right organisation to come to the boy’s aid.
The Police was immediately involved after learning about the incident from the organisation.
Nse, the young lad who hails from Akwa Ibom state was a pupil at PCN primary school in Akan, Calabar, but was withdrawn after being asked to repeat primary 3. When asked about his parents, he said that his father had passed away and his mum sells crayfish for a living and decided to give him out as help to a woman named Ime.
Cross River Watch further reports that;
“The said Madam Ime is a food vendor (popularly known as “Mama Put”) at No. 7C, Etta Agbor Road, Calabar and on the fateful day of the incident, Daniel could not wake up on time to wash dishes when Ime’s eldest daughter (the accused) woke him up by pouring boiling water on his face.
Basic Rights Counsel Initiative had provided medical care to Nse and written to the Ministry of Sustainable Development and Social Welfare seeking temporary accommodation for the child, and the Ministry has promptly responded by placing the child in a government facility where he is now being kept pending when his biological parents/relatives can be traced
The Magistrate was said to be infuriated with the manner at which Ms. Monday responded to questions as her bail application was been heard, therefore turned down the application, remanded her in Afokang prison until the next adjourned date, Sunday 9th December, 2016″
