According to reports, the victim, Sandra Egbadon a 13 year old girl who is presently in J.S.S 2 has been living with the woman for the past five years. But while ironing Momodu’s children’s clothes on Sunday, she started dozing off – an action that did not go down well with her guardian!
In anger, Momodu took the iron and slammed it on her hand and thigh.
Justifying why she dozed off, the victim who is from Edo State revealed that she had washed her madam’s children’s clothes and had fanned the woman when there was power outage.
She was already tired when they brought the Light but her madam instructed to iron children’s clothes.
“On Sunday, she said it was stuffy and told me to fan her. When the electricity was restored, she told me to iron her children’s clothes. I was sleepy while ironing the clothes. She said I wanted to burn the clothes, collected the iron and placed it on my hand and thigh.
“Her husband is not aware of the way she treats me. He lives in Abuja and comes home once in a while. Whenever we travel home, she is kind to me in the presence of my father. I want to go back home.” Sandra told punch.
