The Lagos State police has arrested a 35-year-old trader, Sarah Eteigbe, for burning her 12-year-old houseboy with an iron for drinking her soft drink. 

The incident which occurred in Bariga area of Lagos, left the houseboy, Friday Obi with a cut on his forehead and burns on his left shoulder and scars all over his body. The houseboy who is a Primary 5 pupil of Pedro Primary School, was brought from Imo State to live with the trader, Sarah Eteigbe, four years ago in her one-room apartment at 17 Mutairu Street, Pedro, Bariga.

The lady's arrest came after teachers who noticed bloodstains on the houseboy's uniform, were told that Sarah Eteigbe burnt him with an iron upon inquiry. Sarah, whose landlord and teachers at Friday’s school had cautioned against inflicting injuries on the boy whenever she beats him, was arrested after the Local Government Education Authority at Shomolu Local Government contacted Coordinator of the Child Protection Network, Mr. Toyin Okanlanwon, who subsequently reported the matter to the Police at Pedro Police Station.

Upon interrogation, Sarah said; 

“I have warned him several times to stay in the house and not to go out and play with other children.”

Asked why she burnt him with hot pressing iron, she simply said: “Because he drank a bottle of seven-up without my permission.”

This is just inhuman

Until someone is made a scapegoat on this issue of inhumane treatment of househelps the trend will continue, and I advise the women husbands should also be punished cause he's a party to the crime

Wickedness. Why not take him back to his parents if you're tired

May our children never end as house help in this wicked days.

Children should be taught not to take things that don't belong to them. Truth is that the child may have deserved punishment for taking that "just a bottle of seven up", but this was way too extreme.

Asked why she burnt him with hot pressing iron, she simply said: “Because he drank a bottle of seven-up without my permission.”

Because of a bottle of 7up!

Too bad

Osu pigs are just too callous

The woman looks like a She Demon facially, she sure is capable of such level of wickedness
