The picture of the woman was attached with a statement released by the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Daniel Ndukwe Ikea.
According to the statement, the woman, Ifeoma Ozougwu, 24, and her husband, Jude Ozougwu, 40 were arrested following credible information received July 2 alleging that a woman in Akonameze Street, Thinker’s Corner, Enugu inflicted degrees of injuries on her minor female ward.
The PPRO, Ikea said operatives of the Command swiftly moved to the area where they rescued Nneoma and arrested the couple.
”Preliminary investigation showed that the suspect, who the victim’s relative and a mother of three (3), maltreats her to the extent of using different objects, including hot pressing iron, iron rod, and nails to inflict several grievous bodily harm as well as inserting pepper into her private part.” the statement read.

He further added that the Commissioner has warned all those who may have been in the habit or are intending to maltreat and/or inflict grievous harm on susceptible children to desist forthwith as the Command will not spare anyone found culpable in such inhuman acts that infringe on the dignity and fundamental human rights of children.
He called on residents of the state with credible information that will help in fighting crimes against vulnerable children to call the Command’s hotlines on: 08032003702, 08075390883, 08086671202 or 08098880172.
