Staff of the Nigeria Immigration Service Burns 12-Year Old Girl With Hot Pressing Iron

 A member of staff of the Nigeria Immigration Service, Kwara State Command, northcentral Nigeria, Mr. Yemi Afolayan, has been arrested by the police for allegedly inflicting severe bodily injuries on a 12-year old girl, Favour Emmanuel, with a hot pressing iron after tying her up and beating her to the point of comma.
The girl, a native of Anambra state, whose mother is in Lagos State, was staying with the Immigration officer’s family in Ilorin.

“My master, Mr. Afolayan, had asked me to prepare rice but as it was taking too long for the food to be ready he first beat me mercilessly and latter tied me up and used an electric pressing iron to inflict all the injuries on my body,” the victim narrated.
A source in the neighbourhood along Basin Road in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, who pleaded anonymity, disclosed that the manner in which the girl was treated was dehumanizing and inhuman, adding there was little they could do since they were not a party to her being brought into the house, hence they could not challenge the couple.

When A neighbour, however, noticed the manner the girl was being maltreated and reported the matter at the Ministry of Women Affairs.
While reacting to the dastardly act, the Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development in the state, Mrs. Comfort Afolayan, said the ministry went to report at the anti-child trafficking department of “A” Division Police Station after which Afolayan was arrested.
“The victim has been arrested, while the child is in our custody at the Motherless Babies’ Home, Gaa Akanbi, Ilorin, where she is being taken care of before we take her back to her family.
“As a mother, not even as the Commissioner for Women affairs And Social Welfare, the act is very horrible. As a mother, who has gone through the process of child bearing, you cannot see that situation and keep quiet.  Such a treatment is not acceptable.
