The police in Ogun state have vowed to charge to court a married woman, identified as Kudirat for abusing her stepdaughter.
According to report, Rachael mother had died five years ago, when she was three months old, but she was left under the care of her father who married Kudirat few years after.
Kudirat was arrested when a neighbour reported her act to the police at Onipanu division.
She said; “She is my stepdaughter and I have been taking good care of her. But she is very stubborn. If I give an instruction, she won’t follow it. She is bed-wetting and I have cautioned her several times. She is also fond of stealing pieces of meat from the pot of stew. I only beat her with brooms; I don’t use any object on her. I promise not to beat her again.”
The Ogun State Police spokesperson Muyiwa Adejobi, confirmed Kudirat’s arrest, hea said Rachael has been handed over to her father, Dele, who signed an undertaking that she would be properly taken care of henceforth.
