For allegedly pouring hot water on her employer, Alhaja Dupe Iba Agba, during her sleep, a 17-year-old house maid, Esther Abiodun, has been arraigned before a Lagos State magistrates’ court.
Police prosecutor, Inspector Philip Osijale, told the court that the accused committed the offense on 14th September, 2015 at her employer's residence, a day after she secured the job as a house maid.
The victim, Osijale said, sustained serious burns all over her body including chest, right and left hands adding that she was rushed to the intensive care unit in a Lagos State hospital where doctors are battling to save her life.
Osijale stated that during investigation, the accused confessed to the crime and said that she intentionally boiled the hot water and poured it on her employer’s body to teach her a lesson for unjustifiable reasons.
Delivering his judgement, Magistrate Mr. W. Balogun ordered that the accused be remanded at the Lagos State correctional centre,
