Photo: Pastor’s Wife Bathes Sister With Hot Water For Not Selling Paw Paw!!!
Nigeria have arrested the wife of a pastor, Mrs. Angela
Uzoma, for pouring hot water on her sister. She was
arraigned before the Ejigbo Magistrates' Court for injuring
the teenager. The 28-year old housewife who is also the
women's leader in her husband's ministry at Shasha
allegedly poured hot water on Chidinma Chukwu, causing
her serious injury.
The incident happened at their residence at Ifelodun Street
Orisunmbare, Shasha, Lagos State, western Nigeria. We
gathered that the pastor's wife accused the 14-year old
Chidinma of selling only few pawpaws on the fateful day.
Angela, according to the police investigating officer (IPO),
had warned Chidinma to ensure that she did not come back
home without selling all the pawpaws packed in her tray for
sale that day. Unfortunately, she did not sell everything and
Angela became angry, accusing her of being too playful.
The culprit tried to hide the incident by refusing to take her
to a hospital. Instead, she arranged with a nurse who was
treating her at home. The matter came into the open when
a samaritan heard of it and reported to the police at Idimu.
Angela was promptly arrested. Narrating what happened,
Angela said she did not intentionally pour water on her,
adding that she brought her from the village to train her
and she was hawking pawpaw to assist the family to feed.
"It is the devil's work and I regret what happened. I want
to settle this matter out of court," she begged.
Her husband, Pastor Paul Uzoma, described the incident as
unfortunate. "When I heard of it, I blamed my wife and told
her she went too far," he said. He, however, said his wife
meant well for the girl and that was why she brought her to
Lagos to train her. When she was arraigned in court on
Tuesday, she pleaded not guilty. The presiding magistrate,
Mr. P.E Nwaka granted her bail in the sum of N50,000
with one surety in like sum. She was ordered to be
remanded in prison custody at Kirikiri, Apapa when she
couldn't fulfill the conditions attached to her bail. The matter
has been adjourned till 12 December, 2013
