It was gathered that the suspect, who was said to be in the habit of beating the minor, was arrested on Saturday, October 8, after a concerned citizen saw the child covered in bruises and notified NAPTIP.

The child had a cut on her head as well as several bruises all over her body.
It was gathered that the father of the child was also being physically ab#sed by his wife.
“We got to their house and I met her father, he started telling me how the wife is abusing the daughter and each time he try to defend her, his wife doesn’t hesitate to hit him as well,” the concerned citizen said.
