The Lagos State Police Command has arrested Mary Omifunto, for pouring hot water on her 14-year old daughter for refusing to hawk, Njenje Media reports.
Mary Omifunto had ordered her daughter, Oladiran to go out to hawk but she refused and this provoked the mother who in a rage attacked her with a hot object before scalding her with hot water, which caused burns on many parts of her body.
The Lagos Police Spokesman, Muyiwa Adejobi while confirming the incident said;
“The Commissioner of Police has condemned the act. It is surprising why someone would do such a thing to her biological daughter. The girl is in pain. It is quite unfortunate.”
