It was an ugly incident last
Saturday at No. 7 Adeniran Ogunsanya street,Surulere when a house wife
allegedly set her own house maid on fire because she took a piece of meat from
her pot of soup.
Mrs Nekese Iroakazi poured kerosene
on her 11 year old house maid, Ita-Bassey
Eno, a native of Akwaibom state south south Nigeria and ignite a match stick on
her. Her body was burnt down including her private part. The girl was picked
about one month ago from her family and is staying alongside another house
help, by name Happiness in the house of Mrs Iroakazi. While Happiness was outside the kitchen, the woman and Eno were both inside the kitchen and suddenly, Eno ran outside shouting for help.
It took intervention of good Samaritans
and neighbours to quench the fire with fire extinguisher. When the incident
happened, according to an eye witness, the girl ran out from the kitchen in a
desperate bid to fall into any ditch or gutter but was helped by a sympathizers
who eventually took her to Gbagada general
hospital and is currently on admission. The doctors are battling to save her
life and have been wearing pampers and bandages. She sustained 95% degree burn according to the
doctor. However, the doctor stated that it would take a miracle for the girl to
overcome the burn because it was up to 95%. The incident was reported to the
police division at Bode Thomas by a neighbour and the woman was taken up. She
however denied the allegation. This has
raised a question how a woman who has her own children could be callous to the
extent of inflicting this type of injury on another woman’s child. It is pure wickedness.
