Police arrest beautician for beating maid to death in Lagos
A beautician, whose identity was given only as Oby, has been arrested
by the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly beating her maid,
Miracle, to death. The incident occurred on Lateef Aregbe Street, Ago
Palace Way, Okota, in the Isolo area of the state.
It was gathered that the accused, who is a mother of two had descended
on the eight-year-old on Saturday till she collapsed and died.
She was allegedly arranging with some persons to dispose the corpse
when some neighbours raised the alarm and reported the case to the
police. The suspect was subsequently detained at the Isolo Police
Division.
A resident of the area, who did not want to be identified, said the suspect had been beating Miracle for months.
He explained that anytime Oby, who hails from Anambra State, was confronted by neighbours, she would shun and insult them.
She said, “She is a beautician and has two children and she is heavily
pregnant with her third child. Her husband was deported from Libya
before he travelled again to Angola, where he is now based.
“She brought the victim and another girl by name Chinacherem, from
their village in Anambra State some years ago. They were formerly going
to school before she stopped them.
“However, anytime I visit their house, she was always beating this
particular girl. Whenever people intervened, she would tell them to go
away because she brought the girl from the village and it was none of
their business.-The Authority
