A couple, Eucharia Chukwuma
and Jerry Oko-Oboh residing in Joshua street, Ajangbadi area in Lagos
state have been arrested for stabbing 10 year old Chidinma pictured
above in her private part over allegations that she fiddled with the
private part of their 3 year old daughter, Peace on April 6th.
According
to
Punch, on the
day of the incident, the 10 year and the 3 year old, who are neighbours,
went out to play. After the couple's daughter returned home from
playing with Chidinma, she complained to her parents that Chidinma had
fiddled with her private part. Angered by the allegation, the girl's
mother Eucharia went
to Chidinma's house and met with Chidinma's mother, Ofia.
She asked
to see Chidinma and when she saw her, she told the little girl to
follow her. On getting to the couple's house, Chidinma denied the
allegation and was beaten up and stabbed with a broken bottle and
smeared it with pepper. Chidinma's mother, hearing the cry of her child,
rushed to the couple's house but found that the door was locked.
Seeing
the harm they had done to Chidinma, the couple immediately fled their
compound. They were later arrested by the Okokomaiko Police station and
dragged before an Apapa Magistrate Court on a three count charge
bordering on assault.
The case is currently in court.
