Life may never be the same again for five-year-old girl (name withheld) from Adamawa state due to injuries inflicted on her private part by her stepmother.

According to reports gathered by newsmen, one Aisha Mohammed inserted a hot iron rod into the private parts of her young stepdaughter because she was bed-wetting.

“The suspect, Aisha Mohammed, a resident of Wuro Patuji village, Mubi South Local Government Area, took advantage of the baby following the divorce of her mother that brought her under the care and custody of her stepmother.

“Investigation reveals the suspect, being the second wife to the victim’s father, committed the offence by using hot iron (rod) to torture and inflict injury on the private parts of the baby because she discharged urine on her bed.

“The wicked stepmother was arrested by the police in Mubi South Local Government Area following a report received from Aisha Abdullahi (mother of the victim) and Barrister Khadija Nasir, a female lawyer.”
