A middle-aged woman identified as Tricia Oterneghoro has left her daughter, Joyce Emmanuel scarred after she poured hot soup on her for sleeping in a neighbours room.
The 13-year-old victim's breasts and chest region got burnt as a
result of the incident. The woman has been arrested by the
police. Residents in the area who rushed to administer first aid to the
victim poured invectives on the victim’s mother over the incident.
Some said they have cautioned her to stop maltreating her daughter but the pleas fell on deaf ears.
According to one of the neighbours, “A woman with correct sense
will not do this to her daughter. I have warned her not to beat the
girl again. Her father called yesterday and the girl said she was
interested in going to nursing school.”
Narrating her ordeal, Joyce explained that she wanted to go out and
take her bath on Monday night but her mother refused. Joyce said she
still went out to take her bath and her mother locked her outside which
made her to sleep in her friend’s room. She said she was shocked when
her mother stormed into the room the next day and pour hot soup on her.
“It was evening and I said I want to take my bath but my mummy
said no. I went out to take my bath and my mummy locked the door. After
knocking many times, I went to sleep in my friend’s house.
“In the morning, my mummy came and pour hot soup on my body.”
In her reaction, the victim’s mother said she did not know what came over her to make her poured the hot soup on her daughter.
She said she had warned her neighbours not to allow her daughter
sleep in their room and when she saw her the following morning, she
poured the hot soup on her.
