Family Abuse

Mrs. Oyewole has a son who beats Princess at will. Punishes her even under the rain. When all of these happens, the husband locks himself in his room and pretends like nothing is happening. Her children Tito and Nifemi would hold the girl’s neck while the mother would burn her buttocks and vagina with lighter” the report said.

“In the interview video clip, you’d hear the girl say, “They would now give me leaves like an animal” while in the toilet before the girl would come out to work her ass off,” the report emphasizes.

Story of a Princess

Princess was left in the care of the deaconess by her parents to enable her to pursue her education after the couple relocated from Kuturah in Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State due to series of attacks by killing forces.

However, after unsuccessful attempts to see their daughter for over a year, the family became alarmed and sought help from a Non-for-profit organization (NGO) to enable them to rescue her from the deaconess who had denied them access to the girl severally.

According to the report, it was through the intervention of the NGO that the current state of the girl was discovered.

The deaconess during interrogation was reported to have said that “I didn’t know the fire was burning very well like that,”
