| Favour Emmanuel Showing her wounds |
An official of the Nigeria Immigration
Service, Kwara State Command, Mr. Yemi Afolayan, has been arrested for
allegedly inflicting injuries on a 12-year-old girl, Favour Emmanuel.
Afolayan was also said to have allegedly tied and beaten up Emmanuel before inflicting the injuries on her neck and foot.
Our correspondent learnt on Tuesday that
Favour was under the guardianship of Afolayan and his wife, who is
popularly known as Iya Beji.
Emmanuel, whose mother....
resides in Lagos, told PUNCH Metro in Ilorin that Afolayan had asked her to prepare a meal for the family.
She said while she was preparing the meal, Afolayan felt that it had taken a long time for it to be ready and became angry.
Emmanuel said, “He asked me to prepare
rice. While I was preparing it, he became angry that it had taken a
long time for me to finish cooking the rice. He grabbed me, tied me up
and used the hot iron to inflict injuries on my body. It was really a
very tormenting experience.”
It was also learnt that Afolayan’s
arrest was sequel to a report to the state Ministry of Women Affairs by
some concerned neighbours.
The Director of Child Development, Kwara
State Ministry of Women Affairs, Mrs. Lucy Adeniyi, said Favour
sustained serious injuries on her neck and foot.
She added that the victim had been treated at the state Civil Service Hospital, Ilorin.
Our correspondent also learnt that
Emmanuel was currently at the Children Reception Centre, Gaa Akanbi,
Ilorin owned by the state government.
However, Afolayan, who is said to be a father of five, denied that he beat up and burned Emmanuel with hot iron.
He explained that he only scolded her,
adding that she ran out of the house. He stated that she might have
sustained the injuries while running away from him.
