A 25 year old petty trader has been arrested by police in Ibeju Lekki
for allegedly burning her 6 year old son's face for going into their
neighbour's home and licking their soup.
Not only did Sakirat Attah burn her son's face with hot iron after the
neighbour reported her son to her, she also used a broken bottle to stab
young Daniel in the head. This is unbelievable, your own child?
Sakirat took her son into their one room apartment after finding out
what he did, locked the door, lit a stove, put an iron
spoon on it to get hot and used it to burn his face and hands as
punishment. And when that wasn't enough, she broke a bottle and stabbed
him in the head, leaving a deep cut. Daniel later told police he stole
the soup because he was hungry.
