Anambra governor\u2019s wife, Mrs Nonye Soludo, has condemned the violent abuse of a child maid by her guardian at G.R.A, Onitsha.<\/p>\n
The governor\u2019s wife, was reacting to a viral video of a girl of about nine years who appeared in the video with gory iron-stamp burns all over her body, allegedly inflicted on her by her guardian, on Mrs Adachukwu Okafor now at large.<\/p>\n
The alleged culprit, now at large, was said to be living with the maid at her Akpaka, 33 G.R.A, Onitsha residence, and got enraged when the maid, who was bathing her boy child allegedly touched the child\u2019s penis.<\/p>\n
A source who pleaded anonymity said, \u201cIt was then that Mrs Okafor, said to be a legal practitioner and a pastor in a local church, used everything within her reach, including a charged laundry iron, to feast on the maid.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe was shouting to onlookers while manhandling the child that she is a lawyer; nothing will happen to her\u201d, the source said.<\/p>\n
Speaking shortly after directing the Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Welfare to take custody of the child and begin immediate treatment on her wounds and also conduct tests to ascertain if she sustained internal injuries, Mrs Soludo described the guardian\u2019s act as barbaric, and heinous and vowed to ensure that justice is served.<\/p>\n
