August 2nd, 2013 – Girl Burnt Alive By A Nurse In Lagos Is Dead – RIP Ita Bassey-Eno
An innocent girl who was set ablaze by her mistress in Surulere Lagos on Saturday has passed away.
11-year-old Ita Bassey, who worked as a maid for a nurse (Mrs Nkese Iroakazi) who works at an hospital in Surulere was set ablazed over an argument on a missing piece of meat.
She suffered serious burns and was rushed to the Burns and Trauma Centre at the General Hospital in Gbagada last Saturday.
The girl who suffered 95% burns all over her body died in the early hours of today, August 2nd, 2013.
The girl’s fate appeared sealed last Saturday when she was said to have been set ablaze. sources said the girl ran out of their apartment at 7, Adeniran Ogunsanya Street, Surulere, unto to the main road with fire all over her body as she cried for help from passers-by.
It was gathered that a motorist immediately stopped her vehicle and used the fire extinguisher in her car to put out the flames.
Her mistress has denied any involvement in her death.
Nkese said she was in the sitting room when she heard a loud cry and rushed out only to see the girl on fire and called on people to help put out the fire.
Chai madam lie small… How can she pour kerosene on herself?
This is so sad.
May her soul rest in perfect peace.

I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A LAW THAT WILL STOP PEOPLE GIVING BIRTH TO NO MORE THAN THREE CHILDREN , IF YOU DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO FEED THEM , THEY MUST NOT HAVE NO MORE THAN ONE. BECAUSE LIKE MY AUNT , SHE GAVE BIRTH TO FOURTEEN CHILDREN, THEN SHE WILL GO ABOUT LOOKING FOR WHO WILL HELP HER LOOKING AFTER THEM , I THINK IS CRAZY , TO THINK THAT HAVING A LOT OF CHILDREN WITHOUT HAVING MONEY TO FEED THEM IS BUSINESS, THE GOVERNMENT NEED TO LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE MONEY , SORRY YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ONE CHILD, BUT IF YOU HAVE MONEY YOU CAN HAVE AS MANY BECAUSE YOU CAN FEED THEM.

I don’t even know who to blame, the parent for giving their daughter away for that useless job or the mistress. That mistress should be use as an example for other women out there who think their housemaids are slaves and are less human than them.

I bet u God will definitely pay ur children and future generatns all d atrocities u’ve committed on ur fellow human being’s children on dis planent earth ijn.amen.

@Ohio next time if you don’t know what to say in this kind of issue please keep quit ok!
For me no judgement yet because the woman assumed innocent until the final judgement.
But I wants to still remind us that some of this teenagers can do something to nail their enemy simply because they know that some foolish people consider their statement truth than adult.

Well I don’t have much to say ,there was a time I told my 13 year old househelp to go to school ,I even register her in one ,when she told her people ,they told her that if I send her to school I won’t pay again, so she told me that she wants to go when I refuse ,the next morning I saw her eye swollen when i took her to a doctor she told him that it was me that did it not knowing that she was talking to a doctor who knew it was a boil, I quickly called the police who then took her back this happened like 8 years ago ,since then I don’t take any one who is less than 20 year because this children can go to any lent if they don’t like you

it is never easy to trained another persons child especially when the child is not an obidient type. i and my neibour has house girls and ppl if you have not try having one i beg you if you are not tolerant and patience dont try having one. u need to see what house girls does, like eating up baby’s food,replacing drinking water with well water after spending the money give to buy water, peeing in food used plastic, hiding rubish in the kicthen, stilling the poor mistress money and all sort of evil acts. imagine living a child in the house by 6.30am to with instruction”clean up the house, wash plate and other chaos which she can do just for u to return and meet those things as you left them. may God help us. like mined i have make up my mine to return her to her parent cos when she does something wrong and u flog her she pretends and sises her breath live her she do the worst. i think the best is return them if u cant cope.
