Lagos Police Arrest Two For Pouring Chemical On Girl, Using Her To Beg (Photo)

The Lagos State Police Command has arrested two women one Amadi and Mama Esther for allegedly abusing a nine-year-old girl, Joy Esemonu, in the FESTAC Town area of the state.
It was gathered that Amadi allegedly poured chemical on Esemonu, which made her sustain injuries in different parts of her body.
A Punch correspondent was told that Esemonu was subsequently led everyday by the suspect to a pedestrian bridge in the FESTAC area where she was made to beg for alms from passersby.
At the end of every begging trip, the two women reportedly shared the money collected.
However, a Good Samaritan, who observed the victim's condition on the bridge, reportedly alerted policemen from the FESTAC division, leading to the arrest of the two women.
The matter was subsequently referred to the Office of the Public Defender, which transferred the victim to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Traffic in Persons and other related matters.
