A 22-year-old primary school teacher, Margret Obano and her boyfriend have been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly brutalising her two-year-old daughter and burning her buttocks.
According to The PUNCH, the incident happened on Friday, October 14, 2022, in the Bariga area of the state.
According to an Instagram platform, Instablog9ja, who spoke with a resident, the woman lived at her boyfriend’s mother’s house.
The resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said, “She is fond of maltreating and abusing the child for no reason. On Friday, she beat up the little child and put her bum on an electric cooking hot plate.
“She teaches in a local school at Bariga and the school is owned by her boyfriend’s mum, so she lives with both the boyfriend and his mom.
“The father of the child is nowhere to be found. He denied the child when she gave birth. The child suffered severe burns and is in so much pain.”
The state police spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the arrest of the woman and her partner.
