| Senami; her injured leg |
The father of a 17-year-old girl,
identified simply as Senami, is on the run after allegedly cutting his
daughter’s leg with a hot knife.
It was learnt that the father, who was identified only as Azama, tortured the girl, who hawks Dokunu (local dish), for....
returning home late on Sunday, May 4.
Senami, an indigene of Benin Republic had helped her stepmother, Rukayat, to hawk the goods, which she
usually did in the evening every day. Senami lives with the couple in
the Badagry area of Lagos. She was said to have returned home earlier on the fateful day, but went back to collect payment from some customers who bought Dokunu on credit.
According to source, Senami’s explanation to her father fell on deaf ears. He reportedly tied her with a rope and used the hot knife on her left leg.
It was said that the injuries drew attention of the teachers in the
school which Senami attended. One of her teachers, it was learnt, took
her to a social welfare office in Badagry. The teacher later took her to
the Ajeromi Police Station, where the case was reported.
While Azama is still at large, his wife was arrested for assaulting Musa. She was arraigned before an Apapa Magistrate’s Court.
