Brutalized house help: Lawyer opens up on police role
A human rights lawyer, Barr. Maximus Ugwuoke, weekend, gave an insight into the trending case of a house-help, Nneoma, who was tortured by her ‘madam’ in Enugu.from a wicked guardian, who battered and inflicted grievous harm on her in Enugu.
He debunked the allegation of police recklessness in the case, and rather called for reward of the police officers over the roles they played. Ugwuoke said that the social media report that the police just dumped the girl in the hospital without being treated was not the true picture of the situation. He said it was the police that took the child to the hospital in the first place and that the police provided the money for the blood transfusion administered on her.
“This done, the officers told me there was a need for a formal petition to the Command to enable them proceed with the investigations. So I took them back to the station and headed to my law firm where I drafted a formal petition and drove back to the station and submitted it for the approval of the Area Commander, ACP Okenla Seyi.
“It didn’t take long when the news went viral and the hospital was besieged by people and NGOs wanting to take snap shots of the girl and report their versions of the story.
