A woman identified as Khadija Dauda has been arrested by the Kogi state government for allegedly pouring hot water on her step-sister.
Kogi State Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Hajiya Fatima Kabir Buba who made the announcement on Friday July 17, said the suspect carried out the sad act after a misunderstanding with her step-sister.
Hajiya Fatima Kabir Buba described the incident as wicked and inhuman, and further disclosed that the ministry she heads will ensure they get justice for the 14-year old Zainab Dauda.
She said;
“This is total wickedness. How would a sane person pour hot water on her fellow human being?“The Kogi State Government won’t condole this brutality. We are going to follow this case to a logical conclusion and ensure that Zainab Dauda gets justice."
Buba added that the wife of the state governor, Hajiya Rasheedat Bello will leave no stone unturned to ensure that any individual engaging in child battering, molestation of the girl child, child trafficking and other heinous act will be made to face the full wrath of the law.
Khadija Dauda is currently being detained at the Police Force Headquarter, Lokoja and will be charged to court next week.
