Policemen at Bode Thomas division of
Lagos State command, Tuesday, arrested a woman who allegedly set her
11-year-old house maid ablaze in Surulere area of Lagos, for stealing a piece
of meat from her pot of soup.
The maid identified as Ita
Bassey-Eno who reportedly escaped death by the whiskers, is currently at the
Burns and Trauma Centre of the Gbadaga General Hospital, with doctors battling
to save her life.
Although her mistress, a staff nurse
at an undisclosed hospital in Surulere, Mrs Nkese Iroakazi, reportedly denied
the allegation at the police station, the ailing girl was said to have managed
to state that she allegedly poured kerosene on her before striking a stick of
matches to set her on fire.
The incident, as gathered, occurred
last Saturday at 7, Adeniran Ogunsanya Street, after Ita rushed out
of the apartment with fire on her, apparently in an attempt to plunge
into a gutter. Unfortunately, she reportedly fell before she could get
to the gutter.
One of the residents was said to
have succeeded in putting out the fire with the aid of a fire extinguisher,
before she was rushed to the hospital.
