A woman has been arrested after she allegedly beat her stepson with a pestle and broke his bone.
The incident was shared by a neighbour on X.
According to the neighbour, the 3-year-old victim, named Kaitochikwu, was heard crying and a neighbour broke into their flat to find the boy unable to stand and his leg was "dangling".
He was rushed to a hospital by the neighbour and was later transfered to an orthopaedic hospital in Enugu.
When his father got to the hospital and asked what happened, the boy said it was his stepmother who beat him.
An X-ray showed that a bone in his thigh was broken during the assault.
The woman has now been arrested after the story was shared online.
