Not only did Sakirat Attah
burn her son's face with a hot iron after the neighbour reported her son to
her, she also used a broken bottle to stab young Daniel in the head.
Sakirat took her son into
their one room apartment after finding out what he did, locked the door, lit a
stove, put an iron spoon on it to get hot and used it to burn his face and
hands as punishment. And when that wasn't enough, she broke a bottle and
stabbed him in the head, leaving a deep cut. Daniel later told the police he
stole the soup because he was hungry.
Neighbours who heard the
little boy screaming for help entered the room and rescued him from the mother.
They rushed him to the hospital and called the police on the mum.
Shakirat Attah has been
charged before an Igbosere Magistrate’s Court in Lagos on a one count charge of
assaulting a minor occasioning bodily harm. She's currently in Kirikiri Prison,
pending when she fulfills her bail conditions.
