According to report, Otitoloju was arrested for allegedly brutalising her niece Adeola after a neigbhour and the landlady accused the child of stealing from their apartments. Angered by this, Otitoloju brutalised Adeola with a razor blade, leaving her with brutal cuts.
The victim was rushed to the nearest general hospital by a kind neighbour. At first, the hospital refused to give the child treatment until a police report was gotten. And so, the situation was reported to a worker of the Ikorodu Child Protection Network who subsequently, alerted the police. Eventually, Adeola was taken into government’s custody and given emergency treatment at the hospital, while the police arrested the abusive aunt.
Yesterday, Otitoloju was arraigned on two counts bordering on child abuse.
She leaded guilty to the charges and the Magistrate, Mrs. A.A. Oshoniyi, sentenced her to four years’ imprisonment with no option of fine.
