Mom Arrested For Burning Her Daughter With Hot Iron

A woman, identified as Ayo Sherriff, 30, has been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command, for allegedly burning her 16 years old daughter, Aishat Sheriff with hot iron.

Investigations revealed the abuse was reported by Chosen Child Orphanage Home, located at Gastya Estate, Ijora-Badia.

Police spokesman said Aishat’s upper and lower right limbs were allegedly burnt by her mother over minor misunderstanding.

According to report, Aishat a secondary school student and a part-time student nurse in auxiliary capacity was given the sum of N500 by her boss with an instruction to give N200 to someone on her way home, use N50 as transport fare and return the balance of N250 the next day.

However, on the day she was supposed to return the balance to her boss, the victim told her boss that the money was with her mother.

The boss called her mother on the phone and she denied knowledge of the money.

This seems to have angered the mother of the victim who was waiting for Aishat to return home, with an electric iron already plugged.

Mrs. sheriff used the red-hot iron to welcome her daughter home, accusing her of being a disgrace to the family.

The suspect will be charged to court on 30th April 2018.
