Woman arrested for assaulting housemaid with hot iron

Afeez Hanafi

A 39-year-old pregnant woman, Mrs. Monica Momodu, has been arrested by the police for allegedly assaulting her housemaid with a hot pressing iron.

The victim, Sara Egbadon, a Junior Secondary School 2 pupil, was brought from Supenu-Irua, Edo State, and had been living with the woman for five years on Abiodun Adesida Street, Oke Afa, Lagos.

PUNCH Metro was told that the 13-year-old girl was ironing Momodu’s children’s clothes on Sunday when she started dosing.

Worried that the housemaid might burn the clothes, her guardian reportedly snatched the iron from her and slammed it on her hand and thigh.

The victim, who admitted that she was dosing, said she had washed the boss’ children’s clothes and had fanned the woman when there was power outage.

She explained that she was exhausted by the time power was restored, but Momodu instructed her to iron the clothes.

Our correspondent gathered that one of Egbadon’s teachers noticed the injuries and reported the incident to the police at the Aswani division, leading to the arrest of the boss.

Egbadon said, “My mum divorced my dad about six years ago and she is now in Benin. She left my three siblings and I with him. When he could not take care of us, he gave me to madam who is our relative.”

“On Sunday, she said it was stuffy and told me to fan her. When the electricity was restored, she told me to iron her children’s clothes. I was sleepy while ironing the clothes. She said I wanted to burn the clothes, collected the iron and placed it on my hand and thigh.

 “Her husband is not aware of the way she treats me. He lives in Abuja and comes home once in a while. Whenever we travel home, she is kind to me in the presence of my father. I want to go back home.”

But Momodu said the housemaid injured herself with the iron out of fear when she chided her for dosing. She added that she had wanted to take her back home but her father refused.

She said, “She was sleeping and I asked her how she could be sleeping while ironing. It was that shock that led to all this. I did not know she informed her teacher. The iron fell on her. I did not do it. I did not tell her to fan me.”

When a dollar 1$ is equal to 1naira.

By their fruit you shall know them. I don't blame you but parents who keep bringing in children to this world knowing fully well they can't cater for them.

for the maid to burn herself out of shock as the woman claimed sef speaks volume...she must have been too hard on the maid

Hmmmm

U see APC! PMB make life easy for people so all this things can stop! People are no more happy even with themseves

I don't know wen dis housemaid thing start 4 naija..if u can't take care of ur home and kids, dont gv birth...I blame their husband wen dey allow housemaid

Gosh!! It's high time we started using jungle justice for such matter. "An eye for an eye". If such case is reported they victim should be given d opportunity to dish out same wicked act to d perpetrator sharply. No time for long stories and court tinz.

The heart of men is desperately wicked.

Oh she is pregnant

These 're the pple who want to stop violence against women but turn around to dish out mind boggling terror on those placed in their care.

Too bad.
Vengeance belongs to God and he will recompense said the Lord almighty.
No wicked will go unpunished, even if you escape punishment from men, you cannot escape the one from God. Mtcheeeeew!!!!!

hmmmm

Such a pathetic story... I don't why most women are naturally evil after they might have gotten married. Imagine burning the skin of another human, I tell you evil breathes in her lungs. She hath no milk of kindness in her. She should be jailed for her wicked acts but for the fact she's pregnant... hmmm, if I were her hubby (thank God I am not..lol) I will chide and scold her and warn her sternly if the maltreatment persists further. What a world we live in. Can't someone help other people's children get education? Women and their .... (sealed lips)...

Abeg make judge use iron press that her big boobs and another yansh pressing then everybody returns home happy.
