“The accused poured hot water on  her 14-year-old  niece, Esther Ariserekwu, who has  been with her  for more than a year for mistakenly pouring dirty water into her pot of soup that was stored in the freezer.” ‎

 

The offence contravened  Section 243 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.  

 

The Chief Magistrate, Mrs Ipaye Nwachukwu, adjourned hearing to Oct. 13
