See the victim’s statement below;

“On the day of the incident, my madam said I should use hand fan to fan her. I fanned her for a very long time and became tired. There was no light by then. When power supply was restored, my madam said I should go and iron her children’s clothes. I was ironing the clothes when I fell asleep. I fell asleep because I was very tired.

My madam came and used the pressing iron to burn my hand and leg. I was afraid to tell anyone, but my teacher at school noticed the injuries when I went to school. My teacher called the police.”

Mrs Monica Momodu has been detained at Aswani Police Station. She will soon be charged to court.
