One Mrs Chibuzor Onyeji has been arrested by the Delta state police command for allegedly causing bodily harm to to her 13-year old niece, (names withheld) whom her husband was defiling on a constant basis.
According to THIS DAY, the woman reportedly burnt her niece on many parts of her body with a hot knife she allegedly intentionally heated over the flames of a stove for the purpose of disfiguring and crippling the girl. The girl was seriously burnt on her two feet, arms and shoulders, back and buttocks .
Mrs Onyeji reportedly carried out the act after her husband, Francis Onyeji had been abusing the teenager sexually for about two years.
Francis, who hails from Imo State, was said to have had regular canal knowledge of the young teenager and then giving her some money, which the poor girl used to buy herself a few things including food as her aunt often denied her her meals.
Francis' affair with the teenager was exposed when the girl reportedly said the money she had brought to school last week had been stolen and accused some of her classmates of tampering with her bag. The school authorities out of curiosity sent a senior staff to follow her home to ascertain if the affected girl actually took money amounting to about N1,500 to school that morning.
Thus was the cat let out of the bag as the young girl, on interrogation by her aunt and guardian, allegedly confessed that Francis sometimes gave her money after sleeping with her. She said Francis had sex with her whenever he was off duty from as he usually worked off-shore for a Warri-based engineering and construction company.
The confession of the girl reportedly angered her aunt who accused of lying and proceeded to burn her with hot knife later in the night when they were home alone. After inflicting the injuries on the girl, Chibuzor took her to the streets where she paraded her naked and threatened to kill her for lying against her husband.
After the incident, the police arrested Chibuzor and arraigned her before a magistrate court in Ekpan on Monday where subsequently granted bail by the judge on compassionate ground as she is a nursing mother of three month old baby. Meanwhile, the Delta State Police Command says it begun a manhunt for the husband who has since gone into hiding.
The abused teenager is currently in custody of a child welfare organization.
