A 30-year-old pregnant woman, Mrs. Eucharia Ndigwe, has been arrested by operatives of Lagos State Police Command, for cutting Chinaza Anienene, her teenage maid’s body with a knife at Adaloko, in Ojo area of the State.
In a video trending on social media, the girl who is from Anambra State, could be seen with an open wound as blood gushed out from the left side of her body.
The video was recorded by a concerned neighbour.
The teenage girl claimed her aunty cut her body with a knife because she failed to wash a bag given to her by the woman.
The neighbour said that he heard the teenager’s cry again on Friday 19 May, and decided to visit the apartment, where he found blood dripping from the girl’s body.
