In a report by PUNCH Metro, the incident happened on Tuesday, April 24, 2018.

Aisha, a secondary school student and a part time auxiliary nurse was given N500 at work. Her boss told her to give N200 to someone on her way home, use N50 for her transport, and return the balance of N250 the following day.

However, Aishat came to work the following day without the balance and when her boss asked her for it, she claimed it was with her mother. The boss reportedly called Aishat’s mother to ask about the money but Mrs Sheriff knew nothing about it.

When Aishat returned home from work, her mother plugged in an iron and burnt her arm and thighs “for being a disgrace to the family”.

“The Lagos State Police Command is investigating a case of child abuse reported by Chosen Child Orphanage Home, located on Gastya Estate, Ijora Badia on behalf of Aishat Sheriff, a 16-year-old girl child whose upper and lower right limbs were allegedly burnt by her biological mother, Ayo Sheriff, with an electric iron after a minor misunderstanding.

The victim, who is a pupil of a secondary school and a part-time student nurse, was given N500 by her boss with an instruction to give someone N200 on her way home, use N50 as her transport fare and return the balance of N250 the next day.

When the victim returned home from work, her mother, who was already waiting for her, plugged an electric iron and waited until it was hot. She used the hot iron to welcome her daughter home, accusing her of being a disgrace to the family.”
