A
beautician, identified only as Oby, has been arrested by the Lagos State Police
Command for allegedly beating her maid, Miracle, to death on Lateef Aregbe
Street, Ago Palace Way, Okota, in the Isolo area of the state.
Punch learnt that the mother of two had
descended on the eight-year-old on Saturday and beaten her till she collapsed and
gave up the ghost.
She
was allegedly plotting with some persons to dispose of the corpse when some
neighbours raised the alarm and reported the case to the police.
The
suspect was subsequently detained at the Isolo Police Division.
A
resident of the area, who did not want to be identified, said the suspect had
been beating Miracle for months.
He
explained that anytime Oby, who hailed from Anambra State, was confronted by
neighbours, she would shun and insult them.
The
state Police Public Relations Officer, Olarinde Famous-Cole, confirmed the
incident, adding that the victim’s corpse had been deposited in the Isolo
General Hospital for autopsy.
He
said, “The suspect, Obiageli, beat her housemaid, Miracle Edegwu, to death. She
was arrested and transferred to the SCIID. The matter is under investigation.”
