Woman pours hot water on 8-year-old househelp

 

An Anambra couple have been called out for maltreating their 8-year-old househelp.

 

The couple identified as Mrs Ogochukwu Anichukwu and Mr. Emmanuel Anichukwu were accused of flogging the little girl mercilessly and starving her repeatedly. It was further gathered that the girl has been seen several times eating sand because of starvation. 

 

The couple were recently dragged to the human right legal initiative in Ekwulobia, Anambra State following the injury the 8-year-old househelp sustained after allegedly being poured hot water by Ogochukwu. 

 

The lady reportedly poured hot water on her househelp because she caught her licking milk meant for her baby.
