An Enugu State High Court has sentenced an employee of the Central Bank of Nigeria Jude Ozuogu and his wife, Ifeoma Ozuogu to 13 years imprisonment for child abuse.

The couple were found guilty of inflicting bodily harm on their 10-year-old home help.

Ifeoma was 24 at the time she was arrested in 2020 alongside her husband, Jude Ozuogu, by personnel of the Enugu command of the Nigeria Police Force.

The victim, Nneoma Nnadi, was abused for allegedly causing the couple’s baby to fall to the ground.

The convict was also accused of inserting pepper into the little girl's private parts and locking her up in the toilet for refusing to wash plates.


Ozuogu used hot pressing iron, knife, nail and hammer to inflict injuries on the little girl.


The incident happened at Aku in the Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area of the state.

Nnadi was said to have carried her mistress' little baby to pamper her to sleep around midnight when the baby mistakenly fell to the ground.

Though there was no physical or internal injury suffered by the baby, Ozuogu descended heavily on the girl over the incident by burning her skin with a hot pressing iron and also driving a nail into her head.

The following day, Ozuogu inserted pepper into the little girl's vagina and locked her up in the toilet for refusing to wash plates.

It took the intervention of neighbours, who heard the girl's cry, to rescue and rush her to the hospital for treatment.

Consequently, the neighbours reported the incident to the police, which swiftly arrested her. Her husband, Jude was also arrested for being an accomplice to the crime.

Thereafter, they were arraigned before Justice A. C. Ogbuabor of State High Court 10 on three counts bordering on inflicting grievous harm, istering noxious or piousness substance and employment of a child as a domestic worker.

Delivering judgment in the suit marked No: HE/121c/2020 between the State (Plaintiff/Applicant and Jude Ozuogu and Ifeoma Ozuogu (1 & 2 Defendants), the court convicted them.

Condemning the treatment meted out to the 10-year-old girl, the court sentenced the couple to 13 years imprisonment (total individual tally) each.

Justice Ogbuabor convicted the couple on all three counts and sentenced them accordingly. On count one - Inflicting grievous harm, the court sentenced them to three years imprisonment.

On count two - istering a noxious or poisonous substance, the court sentenced the couple to five years imprisonment and on count three - employment of a child as a domestic worker, the court sentenced the couple to five years imprisonment.

The court, however, ordered that the period the convicts had stayed in custody from the day of arrest should be discounted. "All sentences shall run concurrently," the judge so held.

just because she was helpless ... she could have treated her like a child

The good and righteous rejoice when justice is served.

Although, no one is more just than the Almighty

No this is not right ... What did she do that deserved 5 years ? She is supposed to be sentence to death straight ... She is a demon ... Women prison nah big brother house ... Dem just dey do the do from morning till night Dem go come do over night call with thier warder boyfriend ... She is going on vacation be this nah!

See as she treat pikin wey another person born. 5 years is not justice to me unless they cut one hand off like we do in the Northside! ama da sharia fun ni! Oloriburuku obirin.

This ones will still blame the devil.

Being in a yamlegger's household as a maid.

They are totally heartless. Better to swim in an ocean of acid than to end up in their hands.

....

Some animals in human skin are just heartless with the way they treat their domestic staff as if they are not human being like them.

Wickedness of a man

Nawa o

Reminds me of the things my step mothers did to my sister and the little girl that came to stay with us

Women are wicked! Women are evil. You see those very fair and pretty ones? They are the worst of the pack

D

Very good judgement

The following day, Ozuogu inserted pepper into the little girl's vagina and locked her up in the toilet for refusing to wash plates.

The animal in human skin deserves nothing less than 45 years in prison.

Anuofia.

Sharia law will curb human excesses.
