A 38-year-old nurse, Amarachukwu Happiness Nzekwe, from Ezinifitte in Aguata Local Government Area, has admitted to using a hot pressing iron to burn her househelp, stating that it was a form of discipline.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Nzekwe explained that she took this drastic measure after accusing the househelp, who is her 13-year-old nephew, of stealing money.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
According to her, after the boy refused to confess to the theft, she heated a pressing iron on a stove and used it to burn his back.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
During her confession to officials from the Anambra State Ministry of Women\u2019s Affairs and Social Welfare, led by Commissioner Ify Obinabo, Nzekwe defended her actions, stating, “I\u2019ve been enduring a lot because of this boy. I recently had surgery, and when I returned home, I found money missing. I didn\u2019t use electricity to heat the iron; I placed it on the stove to discipline him.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It was also reported that Nzekwe often locked the boy up at home without food.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Commissioner Obinabo condemned the act and confirmed that Nzekwe would face prosecution, affirming that such behavior would not be tolerated in Anambra State.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Following the confession, Nzekwe was handed over to the police for further investigation and legal action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
