Pregnant Woman Stabs Domestic Worker Over Unwashed Bag
An incident occurred in the Ojo Local Government Area of Lagos State, where an unidentified pregnant woman reportedly stabbed her domestic worker, Chinasa Anemem.
The alleged motive behind the attack was the woman’s anger over Anemem’s failure to comply with her instructions to wash a bag at their residence on Simeon Oniyimofe Street.
According to sources, following the act of violence, the woman left Anemem alone at home while she was still suffering from severe bleeding.
An unnamed neighbor, who was familiar with the situation, disclosed that the woman involved in the incident had a history of subjecting her domestic worker to various forms of inhumane treatment.
The neighbor recounted witnessing the distressing sight of Anemem in pain and decided to intervene.
During the interrogation, Anemem, originally from Anambra State, revealed that her aunt had used a knife to injure her body as punishment for failing to wash a bag.
“My aunt used a knife to pierce my body because I did not wash a bag.” she said.
Outraged by the situation, the neighbor took out their phone and recorded a video in which Anemem shared the details of the attack, highlighting the severe bleeding on her back.
The video clip quickly gained traction on social media, and in it, the neighbor can be heard mentioning that the woman’s husband had been issuing threats against them for exposing his wife’s actions.
He said, “This is terribly bad, this occurred on May 19, 2023. It is very appalling that some of us as parents may not be able to take care of ourselves, and we will now give the children God has given us out into slavery.
“You can imagine this girl, this is not the first time, I am a concerned neighbour. It has been happening often. This girl is subjected to inhuman treatment and gross child abuse.
“She doesn’t go to school at times because she’s not able to carry out some house chores. This is what is happening here on Adaloko, no 18 Simeon Oniyimofe Street, Ojo
“The husband of the woman who stabbed this girl and gave her a deep cut, instead of being thankful to me, threatened to deal with me. And that is why I decided to take this evidence.”
In response to the incident, the State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed that the woman involved had been apprehended and subsequently transferred to the revitalized gender unit of the police command.
He further stated that an ongoing investigation was being conducted into the matter.
He said, “The suspect has been arrested. She’s heavily pregnant and has been released to go home. She’ll be coming to the station from home.
“The case has been transferred to the rejuvenated gender unit of the command, where, in collaboration with the Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency, she’ll get adequate medical care while the investigation continues.”
Former Aviation Minister, Hadi Sirika, along with his daughter and two others, have been slated for arraignment today (thursday) by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
They face charges related to an alleged N2.7 billion fraud linked to the failed Nigerian Air project.
The proceedings are set to unfold before Justice Sylvanus Oriji at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja.
The charges, based on court documents, accuse Sirika of granting undue advantage to certain entities in Abuja between April 2022 and March 2023.
The anti-graft agency has accused Sirika of misusing his authority by awarding a N1.3 billion consultancy contract for the Nigerian Air Start-up to Tianero Nigeria Limited.
This alleged action is said to contravene Section 19 of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2000.
In a separate charge, the EFCC alleges that on or around August 18, 2022, in Abuja, Sirika utilized on or about August 18, 2022 ia, Sirika “did use your position to confer unfair advantage upon Al Buraq Global Investment Limited, whose alter ego, Fatima Hadi Sirika and Jalal Sule Hamma are your daughter and son-in-law respectively, by using your position to influence the award to them, the contract for the Apron Extension at Katsina Airport for the sum of N1.498,300,750.00.”
The anti-graft agency asserted that Sirika’s actions amounted to a violation of Section 19 of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2000, rendering him liable to punishment under the same section.
In count three, the EFCC accused Sirika of criminal breach of trust “while serving as the Minister of Aviation and in his capacity as a public officer” on or around August 18, 2022, in Abuja, within the jurisdiction of the court.
In late April, the former aviation minister was taken into custody by the anti-graft agency and interrogated for several days.
