Amodu has been arrested by
the Police in Lagos, for beating
her 10-year old niece, Foziya
Danjuma to coma.
According to the police, the
suspect after beating up the girl
inserted Aboniki balm, (methyl
salicylate ointment) into her
private parts and eyes. She later
became unconscious and she
was rushed to the hospital by
Joy. The little girl was rejected at
the first two hospitals she was
rushed too, but was later
admitted at Ikoyi Military
hospital, where a good
samaritan saw the situation of
the girl and alerted an NGO who
reported Joy to the police.
She was picked up and
confessed to the crime,
stressing that she had to do
that because her father left her
in her care and she has been
warning her to stop bedwetting
because she is too old for it. The
police later found out that,
Foziya's father made her live
with joy when she complained
of a strange illness and
loneliness pleading with him
that she needed a companion.
Joy will soon be arraigned in
court, but their family has
stepped into this, insisting it is a
family matter and should be
settled the family way. Police are
however saying because the girl
is a minor, they will leave it to
Government to decide if it
should be treated as a family
matter or not.
