A 13-year-old girl, Precious Edu, has accused the
brother-in law of her employer of pouring hot water on her.
Edu, who said she was denied the opportunity of
attending school after she was brought to work with Esther Amunde and her
brother-in-law, Papa, in Calabar, Cross River State, said Papa poured the water
on her after accusing her of splashing water on him.
She said after the hot water left some burns on
her neck, shoulder and chest, she was left to wallow in pains for two days until
neighbours took her to the hospital for medical attention.
Narrating her ordeal to PUNCH Metro on
Saturday on her sick bed, Edu, who is currently being treated at the Calabar
General Hospital, said she was brought to Ekorinim area of the state from Obudu
in the northern part of the state to work as housemaid on the agreement that she
would continue her secondary education.
But the situation changed as she was allegedly
denied schooling by Amunde, who insisted that Edu must not be distracted from
taking care of her little son.
