The Edo State Police Command has arrested a couple for allegedly assaulting their eight-year-old maid, simply identified as Miss Previous.
Gistmania reports that the Public Relations Officer of the command, SP Moses Joel Iyamu, who confirmed the incident, said the victim is currently undergoing treatment while the investigation is ongoing.
The incident reportedly happened somewhere around in Ikpoba Hill area near Benin City in Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area of the state.
The suspects were alleged to have inflicted injuries on the maid’s body, who happened to be her niece.
In a 1:17-second viral video of the incident, a voice was heard asking the minor, “Who did this to you?” and the little girl replied, “Mummy Gabriel.”
The voice was heard saying: “This is molestation. Look at her body, they cut her and went to hide in church. Bring them out. We will burn down the church. Your duty is to hand them over to the police.
“They did this maltreatment to this girl and went to hide in the church. Bring Mummy Gabriel out. We will not report you to human rights, but the police will arrest you.”
The couple, it was learnt, were later arrested by the police after some good Nigerians reported the matter at the Oregbeni Police Division, Ikpoba Hill.
