Woman pours hot water on housemaid

A 27-year-old woman, Mrs Bethelyn Falade, who poured hot water on her housemaid, Chinecherem Sunday, because she felt her housemaid was stubborn, is presently in police net and facing charges for assaulting her housemaid.

According to Dailypost, Mrs Falade allegedly carried out the act as punishment for her stubbornness.

Trouble began when Falade enquired of her missing laptop, which the housemaid said was taken by her brother-in-law, identified simply as Lekan, while she was not around.

Not satisfied with the maid’s explanation, Falade got angry and blamed her (the maid) for not notifying her before the laptop was taken away.

In anger, she grabbed a kettle on the gas cooker and poured it on the girl, inflicting wounds on her chest in the process.

Appearing before a Magistrate’s Court sitting at Ojokoro in the Ifako-IJaiye area of the state on two counts of maltreatment and assault, Falade however, pleaded not guilty.
