Policemen
at Bode Thomas division of Lagos State command, Tuesday, arrested a woman who
allegedly set her 11-year-old house maid ablaze in Surulere area of Lagos, for
stealing a piece of meat from her pot of soup.
The
maid identified as Ita Bassey-Eno who reportedly escaped death by the whiskers,
is currently at the Burns and Trauma Centre of the Gbadaga General Hospital,
with doctors battling to save her life.
Although
her mistress, a staff nurse at an undisclosed hospital in Surulere, Mrs Nkese
Iroakazi, reportedly denied the allegation at the police station, the ailing
girl was said to have managed to state that she allegedly poured kerosene on
her before striking a stick of matches to set her on fire.
The
incident, as gathered, occurred last Saturday at 7, Adeniran Ogunsanya Street,
after Ita rushed out of the apartment with fire on her, apparently in
an attempt to plunge into a gutter. Unfortunately, she reportedly fell
before she could get to the gutter.
One
of the residents was said to have succeeded in putting out the fire with the
aid of a fire extinguisher, before she was rushed to the hospital.
