A 17-year-old house maid, Esther Abiodun, has been arraigned before a Lagos State magistrates’ court for allegedly pouring hot water on her employer, Alhaja Dupe Iba Agba, while she was asleep.

Abiodun was arrested by the police from the Adeniji Adele division, Lagos Island and arraigned before an Igbosere Magistrates’ court on a two-count charge of felony to wit, unlawful pouring of hot water on her employer’s body occasioning grievous bodily harm.

Police prosecutor, Inspector Philip Osijale, informed the court that the accused committed the offence on 14 September, 2015 at her employer’s residence located at 20/21, Osho Street, Lagos Island a day after she secured the job as a house maid.

Osijale told the court that the accused boiled hot water, monitored her boss and poured it on her body while she was asleep and in the process she sustained serious burns all over her body including chest, right and left hands.

He said the victim was rushed to intensive care unit in a Lagos State hospital where doctors are battling to save her life.

Osijale stated that during investigation, the accused confessed to the crime and said that she intentionally boiled the hot water and poured it on her employer’s body to teach her a lesson for unjustifiable reasons.

He noted that the offences the accused committed were punishable under sections 171 and 243 of the criminal laws of Lagos State, 2011. The accused, who was represented by Bar. Helen Ibeji, however, pleaded guilty to the charge in the open court.

Magistrate Mr. W. Balogun ordered that the accused be remanded at the Lagos State correctional centre, Idiaraba, Mushin, Lagos till 21 September 2015 for facts and sentence.

Yes she must be punished but she should be allowed to explain exactly what made her do what she did.

...and arraigned before an
Igbosere Magistrates’ court on a two-count charge
of felony to wit, unlawful pouring of hot water on...

I didn't know there was a lawful way of pouring hot water on someone's body.

You know the drill nah. Pls which tribe is leading today so far?

My brother don't be in a hurry to judge the girl. What some of these maids go through in the hands of their Oga/madam will make the 19 century white slave owners look like saints. You can't tell me she decided to pour her madam hot water just like that.

In most cases, the maid hawks, cook, clean house, do the laundry and other unmentionable household chores while madam sits her lazy fat àss gossiping around. Heck in most cases these maids get sexually molested by the Oga and children and at the end what do they get? Constant abuse, being starved of food for minor/excusable mistakes and kicked around.

in as much I dislike child labour, that maid is a SATAN. she just spent 24hrs with the madam

Which one is unlawful pouring of hot water. Is there lawful pouring of hot water?
The girl should be punished. Such behaviour must be shown for what it is....

AdemolaA2:
... did you read the story at all. She committed the grievous offence for no justifiable reason and a day after she was employed..

Did you hear the girl's side of the story?

Ola17:

Na wah, only God knows what the madam did to the maid. Some of these 'madams' are extremely wicked and treat their wards worse than animals. Methinks it is high time the government make a law banning this house girl/maid of a thing, it is just a glorified form slavery. If you need the services of a housekeeper, then employ.

I'm not justifying what the girl did anyway.

Lala sticlala, what's your opinion on this 'evil' act by the maid?

did you read the part where the prosecutor says she was employed just a day earlier before she did carry out her drastic acts


so, how can the woman be so wicked just on the first day of employing her that she will now bathe her with hot water

melzabull:
hoeruba and their cruelty...smh
Thankfully she didn't kill and use her employer for ritual

oga dokita...were kan tun re o! mtchew!

kaorama:
Maids and their madness. This is getting too serious. For no reason she did that? Then the court for no reason should send her to prison, even though I doubt I'd she us not above 17. Her lawyer may have reduced her age to save her from getting maximum punishment

na una de maltreat maids ba
days of reckoning are here
no monopoly of violence
up maids and weaponised hot water
up next Molotov cocktails

A lot could happen in 24 hours and I'm not justifying her wicked act in any way. I was just trying to draw our attention to what these maids go through in many households.

24 hours is a very long time, a lot could happen in even in a minute. You have to hear the maid's side of the story and just like I wrote before, I don't support what she did.

Pay back time. All those so-called housemaids and boys are more or less slaves in Nigeria.

I fill the 'bathe' should have no 's'.

I came her to read name. I knew it's them.

if she thinks she could pay evil for evil at such tender age.......


then she is evil personified, for her to think of pouring water as the best way of revenge....



some housemaid are just plain wicked
my mother did employed one that she has to let go the second day because of her stealing tendency.... with all that, she made away with my old man fone which we never took cognisant of until she left



so, some of them are wicked such as some employer of them also

Inasmuch as justice is necessary, I strongly subscribe to the maxim that says no smoke without fire. but then this is mean to say the least.

The maid has an evil agenda for the family and she use the woman as an escape goat

YOU ARE A DANGEROUS PERSON. WHEN DID YOU BECOME A VOICE AND HUMAN RIGHT ACTIVIST FOR HOUSE MAID AND THEN PRETENDING THAT YOU ARE NOT JUSTIFYING WHAT THE GIRL DID.

At bolded, that's sad. You are right, some of the maids are evil personified and likewise some of the Oga and madams. I still believe this is a case of cause and effect scenario, unless the said maid is a raving lunatic, she can't just pour her madam hot water for no 'reason'. Follow me reason am na.

End time tinz,..,






God have mercy
