Chinwe Abasi,39-year-old trader was arrested by the police in Lagos for allegedly brutalising a 12-year-old boy, Chinedu Okorie, with hot water in the Apapa area of the state.


We learnt that Abasi, a mother of two, who hails from Nnewi, Anambra State, allegedly poured hot water on the boy because he collected N100 from a neighbour to buy a pair of socks to wear to school without the woman’s knowledge.

The boy said, “I told madam (Abasi) last Monday that I needed to buy a pair of socks for school. My teachers would seize my sandals without it. But she did not buy them, and I went to collect money from our neighbour.

“When she saw the pair of socks, she became angry and started to beat me. I ran into the kitchen. That was where she grabbed the electric kettle and poured the content ─ hot water ─ on me.

The trader however said she did not deliberately poured water on the boy, that it was mistake
