A 31-year-old woman, identified as Abigail Oluwarotimi, has allegedly scarred the penis of her 15-year-old house help with a hot metal object.
The incident occurred last weekend in Uromi, Esan North-East Local Government Area of the State. A statement by the Edo State police spokesperson, Moses Yamu, disclosed that the victim identified as Jude Joseph, sustained injuries in his lap and genital.
“On January 11, 2025 at approximately 1945 hours, the Command received a report that one Abigail Oluwarotimi ‘f’, aged 31 years, heated a metal object in fire and used it to inflict burns on her house help, Jude Joseph’m’, aged 15 years.” As a result, the sufferer received injuries to his lap and genitals.
According to the statement, CP Umoru Ozigi, the Commissioner of Police for Edo State Command, expressed worry over the development and directed that the case be transferred right away to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for a comprehensive and private investigation.
While stressing the value of letting the law work itself out, the leadership cautioned the public against enforcing laws itself.
