A 13-year-old housemaid was recently bathed with hot water by a woman over what was described as negligence to her duties.
The perpetrator, Fatimoh Daramola of 8, Luther Street, Lagos Island, was said to have carried out the inhuman act against the housemaid, Iyabo, over her lazy attitude to house chores.
According to an eyewitness account, two housemaids Juliana 15, and Iyabo, 13, were always being subjected to constant harassment and battery by their custodians, Mr. and Mrs. Taiye Daramola, of the said address, until the young Iyabo was bathed with hot water by the wife.
It was gathered that immediately after the ugly incident, the husband took the victim to an undisclosed hospital for treatment, while she was strongly instructed not to disclose to anybody what led to the injuries she sustained.
The housemaid, the witness said, is being shielded from contact with anybody who may be curious to ask what happened to her, even as all efforts to make the girl speak have proved fruitless, apparently as a result of the strong warnings given to her.
At the time of filling this report, the housemaid still carries the sore on her neck and part of her chest, resulting from the injury while the couple are battling to keep the issue under wrap.
The two young housemaids are said to natives of Benin Republic, who are usually hired out through the services of imtermediaries who ply their trades in fetching prospective users of house helps for wages.
