This touching story of a wicked aunt who nearly tortured her niece to death will surely leave you in tears.
Miracle left and her wicked aunt
A housewife, Grace Monday has been arrested by the police for torturing her three-year-old niece, Miracle Peter, to coma.
According to reports from the woman's neighbours, Miracle Peter was
flogged mercilessly for many hours at the woman's Ireodun, Agege home
before her head was slammed against a wall forcing the toddler to faint
because she was fond of defecating in the room.
She was rushed to a private hospital where her condition
deteriorated before they were transferred to the intensive care unit of
the state general hospital.
Grace Monday who has been married for seven years without a child
had traveled to Kaduna in July, 2015 begging his elder brother allow her
take Miracle Peter.
Monday’s neighbour, Adijat Fatai, said she had warned her on several occasions to stop flogging the child.
She said, “Miracle (Peter) always defecated all over the house.
I called Grace and advised her to be patient with the little girl
because it could be that God was using the girl to test her patience.
“Sometime in October, I saw her cleaning the child up after she
had defecated; she was beating her as well. I warned her three
different times to stop flogging her because it was getting excessive.
She didn’t listen to me and I immediately suspected she was under a
spell.
“I told her husband to caution her but he told me Miracle’s
father instructed them to beat her till she stopped purging. I left them
and went inside my room. It was the following morning she came to call
me that the girl had fainted.”
The matter was reported by the landlord of the house, Fatai Alimi
at the Isokoko Police Division. He alleged that Monday had inflicted
several injuries on the body of the victim, adding that she slammed
Peter’s head against the wall.
“We rushed her to a private hospital and I had to borrow money
for her to be admitted and treated because the hospital management said
we must deposit some money. She spent three days at the hospital. When
they could no longer handle it, they referred her to a general
hospital,” he added.
Alimi, who said Peter was placed on oxygen, added that she was incapacitated by the torture.
But the Divisional Police Officer, Isokoko Police Division, Badmos Dolapo, said she was in tears after seeing the victim.
“In all my years in the police force, I have never cried. But
seeing the damage that had been done to this child, I could not hold
back tears; I wept like a baby. She had been brutalised. We will not
leave any stone unturned in this case,” she said.
It can be authoritatively revealed that the Lagos State Office of
the Public Defender had taken custody of the victim. The Public
Relations Officer of the OPD, Adeoba Adeniji-Adele, who spoke for the
Director of the agency, Mrs. Omotola Rotimi, said the victim could no
longer walk.
He said the agency was awaiting the doctor’s report on the case.
“We want members of the public to be prompt in reporting cases
of abuse like this. It is mandatory under the law to report child abuse
and failure to do that now attracts imprisonment of about two years. We
all must join hands to end this menace in our society,” he added.
