A nursing mother, Mrs. Chinyere Ifesinachi, has been arrested by the Anambra State Government for brutalizing her househelp.
Mrs. Ifesinachi was arrested in Nnewi on the order of the Anambra State Commissioner for Women and Social Welfare, Hon. Ify Obinabo.
A viral picture of the domestic help Idinmachukwu, was spotted while running errand for her madam in Anambra state.
The little girl was seen crying with scars all over her body with swollen face.
She said that she was brutalized by her madam for mistakenly dropping one of her madam’s twins, who she was taking care of.
A media aide to the Anambra State Commissioner for Women’s Affairs and Children’s Welfare, Chidinma Ikeanyionwu, stated that upon her arrest, the abuser, Mrs Ifesinachi, claimed that her actions were the handiwork of the devil.
The 25-year-old mother of two was said to have begged that if freed, she would never engage in such behavior.
The 8-year-old house help was said to be her sister’s daughter, who was given to her in March this year, to assist her in taking care of her twins after she complained that she could not cope with house chores since putting them to bed.
Ikeanyionwu quoted commissioner Obinabo as saying that the woman has been handed over to the police for investigation, and that she will be charged to court afterwards.
