A 29-year-old businesswoman, Odor Oyinyechiwho, who allegedly poured hot water on her 14-year-old niece, Esther Ariserekwu, is facing trial at a Surulere Chief Magistrates’ Court in Lagos.
One of the sureties, the court said, must be a blood relation of the accused with evidence of tax payment to the state government.
The accused, a resident of No.139, Adetola St., Aguda in Surulere, pleaded not guilty to a charge of assault.
Earlier, Prosecutor Anthonia Osanyade, told the court that the accused committed the offence on Sept. 5 at No.139, Adetola St., Aguda, Surulere.
“The accused poured hot water on her 14-year-old niece, Esther Ariserekwu, who has been with her for more than a year for mistakenly pouring dirty water into her pot of soup that was stored in the freezer.”
The offence contravened Section 243 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.
