A Lagos Madam has been arrested for beating her 8-year-old maid (girl) to death. The suspect,
who is a mother-of-two and pregnant with her third, was reportedly in
the habit of maltreating the victim and a second house help living with
her.
According to neighbours, the suspect, known as Oby in her neighbourhood in Isolo, 'usually beats and overworks' the deceased, Miracle Edegwu, and her colleague. She had also withdrawn both girls from school after she brought them from Anambra state to Lagos. When neighbours confronted her about the way she treated the girls, she remained defiant and told them to mind their business.
Early on Saturday morning, she launched another attack on the little girl, leading to her death.
After Miracle died, Oby tried to cover her death by contacting people to assist in covertly disposing of the body but they were caught by neighbours who then reported to the authorities. The suspect was then detained at the Isolo Police Division.
The victim’s corpse had been deposited at the Isolo General Hospital.
