A heavily-pregnant woman, Stella Anyakaora, and her husband, Valentine, are currently being interrogated by the Lagos State Police Command for assaulting their 10-year-old maid.
It was learned that the girl (names withheld), who has been tortured and physically assaulted by her guardians, has been rescued by the Police at their Dominic Street, Ijegun residence.
A good Samaritan saw the bruises on the maid’s body and her rotting, maggot-infested finger, when she was sent on an errand. It was the good Samaritan that alerted the Police and a human rights organisation.
Confirming the incident, Lagos State Police spokesman, DSP Chike Oti, said the case was still under investigation and that the victim has been taken to hospital for medical attention.
