A young girl of 10, Chidinma, has been admitted to the hospital after a couple – Eucharia Chukwuma and Jerry Oko-Oboh – beat her up and stabbed her in the private parts with a broken bottle.
The incident happened at shared residence of the couple and the victim’s family, on Joshua Street, Agbabiaka, in the Ajangbadi area of Lagos.
It was learnt that the couple assaulted 10-year-old Chidinma for allegedly touching the vagina of their three-year-old daughter, Peace who cried and reported to her parents that Chidinma fiddled with her private parts.
Chidinma however denied the allegation and said she had only played with Peace at about 7pm on April 6 but didn't touch her privates.
Angered by the report, Peace's 30-year-old mother, Eucharia, rushed to Chidinma’s mother, Ofia, demanding that Chidinma follow her to her room.
A few minutes later, Ofia reportedly heard her daughter screaming and rushed to Chukwuma’s apartment to see what was wrong.
On getting there, the door was said to have been locked by the couple who reportedly beat up the victim repeatedly with punches. Not satisfied, the wife allegedly stabbed Chidinma in the private parts and smeared them with pepper.
The couple fled the neighbourhood when blood started gushing from Chidinma’s vagina.
Policemen from Okokomaiko Police Division later trailed and arrested the couple after the case was reported.
The police said Chukwuma, in a statement she voluntarily made at the station, confessed to stabbing the girl in the privates and rubbing pepper, because she became furious when the girl declined comments about Peace’s allegation.
She and her husband have however been arraigned before an Apapa Magistrate’s Court on three counts bordering on assault.

This is very interesting....Her daughters privates were allegedly fondled with and she reacted.
The little girl whose privates was fondled with couldnt have lied....
How does one react in a situation like this?
Hmnnnnn. Difficult situation in an homophobic environment like Nigeria but stabbing the other girl isn't necessary. Guess a smack with a Cain and threat would have been fine. #IMO
ReplyDeleteKai..they wentt too far abeg
DeleteJerry oko oboh? Ok now; wishing the girl speedy recovery.
DeleteHope the accused are duly punished.
Click my name for all your celebration cakes and cupcakes, cheers
Stabbing her was way to far
DeleteY not use Cameroon pepper there instead of stabbing her#kiddding
The woman should be arrested.
This isn't about homophobia! It's about child abuse duh! This is a vicious cycle; someone probably abused the 10year old who in turn abused the 3year old whose parents then abused the 10year old in retaliation! Those parents are terribly ignorant, and stupid, they feed off each other's stupidity, no voice of reason. I hope they are prosecuted and educated. Cursed society!
DeleteI like the little girl. She didn't make up that story. I'm sure her parents must have told her to scream if anyone touched her there. On the other hand, the little girls parents took it too far.
ReplyDeleteBut stabbing the abuser isn't the solution. Now what she did to the abuser transcends and will shroud the initial crime committed. Hence she doesn't have a case any longer. There are better ways to solve issues
DeleteDisgusting people!!
DeleteThey took it too far though but mehnn...I really can't judge them.
DeleteI don't even kknow what i'll do if it were to be me. I fit kill person
Da hell fidling with a 3-year old.
U die well.
Bloggy, she's 10 o....stabbing the vj with bottle wasn't enough, she had to smear pepper? Nawa o
DeleteBlind rage it wasM Mrs D!
DeleteI ain't making a case for them though
But mehnn the anger shut down their thinking faculty.
Do you understand the psychological consequences sexual abuse can do to a child? No you don't! You'll probably never fathom the consequences! To say the least it can reduce the child to a freak as in a nymphomaniac.
DeleteIf you understand a mother's anger you'll know that the woman was very kind not to pour acid in the 10 yr old's virgina!
Wow, what a sad tale. Stella I'm as confused as you oooo.
ReplyDeleteBut the parents of the 3yrs old girl reacted too harshly. Couldn't they have sternly warned the girl to never come close to their daughter?
Need a yummy Birthday/Wedding cake in Abuja? Home / office delivery. Also send a gift of cake to your loved one in Abuja.Pls click on my ID to see pics and my contact details.
Although, I understand the pain she must have felt when her 3yr old daughter gave her the news. What I don't understand is the reaction, it's like using a sledgehammer to kill an ant.
DeleteGo tell a magistrate she fiddle with your daughter's privates that's why you stabbed & applied pepper on her vagina. That woman is a mean! What if she the girl had died? Madam Eucharia & hubby should be dealt with accordingly.
But a 10yr old fiddling with someone's vagina? Terrible! Who knows where she picked up such habit. She probably have been abused to an adult in the same manner before.
Parents should be very careful about the kind of people they allow to spend time with their kids. Sad stuff.
Fiddled*
DeleteAbused by*
And then you stabbed this baby in her privates with a broken bottle, obara Jesus! So what if it was a boy that fondled the baby's private they would have killed him outrightly? Killer couple alert. Ahaaaa!!!
ReplyDeleteThey would have cut off his balls
DeleteLordly, Lord!
ReplyDeleteStella who tell u say three years old no dey lie? Some can lie for federal o, anyway the parents of the 3 year old went too far, y not send her back to her parents instead of maiming her?
ReplyDeleteNa wa o. Things are happening.
ReplyDeleteOmg! All shades of wrong.
ReplyDeleteSo they would just get bailed and go free just like that? My God! The last should stay in jail.how can people be so wicked?
ReplyDeleteAllah if am the mother of the child would arranged for the lady to stay in jail with my last penny.but if the law is playing tricks on me would organized she be face disfigured.coz I don't think I can live with the fact that someone did such a thing to my child and she's free.
Na wah ohhhhh
ReplyDelete********LONG LIVE SDK & SDKERS*********
Haba! She over reacted. Why run if what they did is actually right? People sef.
ReplyDeleteI won't say what the couple did was right but that is a clear cas of an eye for an eye,putting pepper in d vjay is going to the extreme n now they wil nt only treat the gal,they wil also face the law.
ReplyDeleteStella, certainly not by stabbing another child in her own privates. What sort of animals have Nigerians become?
ReplyDeleteThis is a "serious something" o!
ReplyDeleteWhat if the little girl was lying? ( somehow impossible, right?)
So assuming her V-jay was actually fondled bu the 10years old girl, I understand her mother's pain but stabbing the neighbor's child in return is a NO for me.
She went too far but then again, some of us are unpredictable when angry.
Things are really happening..
ReplyDeleteThat was harsh of them!haba
ReplyDeleteLesbian pedophiles everywhere. Read Miss Mae's 'confession' yesterday and I was astounded. Parents, shine your eyes o. I remember back then when my mum would warn me about men and boys, now women and girls too are not to trusted! Hian!
ReplyDeleteJesus, onto You we entrust our children
What confession? To the broke corper fuckaholic? I think I skipped that part.
DeleteHaba! D Height of wickedness
ReplyDeleteOxygen n magnesium!!!! *shivering from man's wickedness* even if dat chidinma did fondle her privates which is likely to be the case because the small girl can't lie, the reaction was way too too much, it says I have been waiting to deal with u and I am grabbing any opportunity I get.
ReplyDeleteThat couple after reporting to chidinma's parents and the girl denying it should have at most reported to a nearby police station for chidinma to be invited and warned seriously. On their own they will also threaten hell and brimstone on her if they get such report again from their daughter. That should scare the living daylights out of any 10 yr old.
In my opinion they went too far, it is small girl and a younger one both mothers should have talked to the 10 yr old more like counselling her bc just maybe she might also be a victim of such and think it is normal. The parents of the 3 yr old are just too wicked * shivers* broke a bottle and used it to stab a 10 yr old's vagina. They hate that girl seriously. I have a daughter of that age. They're still kids to a large extent.
Mhhhhhhhh
Shalom..i didn't hear from you.
DeleteGreetings Iphie , Stella posted my email address but it was on the day the IHN news page was not well set. I'm sure u missed it.
DeleteThanks so much I will resend it and plead with her to publish it tomorrow.
May God's blessings and protection be on you and family. Thanks
That was too harsh.a threat wld hv scared d littlt girl not to ever try it again
ReplyDeleteOmg!!!!
ReplyDeleteI know parents see murder when their kids are sexually molested, but this is not the way to go naawwwwww!!!
Why use such intense violence?
Please Lawyers in the house,how will the court rule? Considering the fact that Chidinma has denied,and there is no evidence,but am sure that baby's privates got tampered with?????
They went too far.
ReplyDeleteStabbing a defenceless child....in her privates!!
Na wa o
Whatever happened to correctional behaviour?
Or keeping their daughter away from people?
issorait make we wait for court to judge dem
ReplyDelete#GODWIN
Hmm dis is wet Yoruba will call 'oso sini lenu, o buyo si' meaning, 'there's fart in ur mouth and there's also salt as well' fart, u can't lick, and salt u don't wanna spit out. I don't sincerely know what I would ve done if I was in d couples position but den they took it far by stabbing d girl too
ReplyDeleteTHELMA ENEMUWE said...
ReplyDeleteThis is a typical case of ''trouble dey sleep,Yanga go wake am''...
The 3yr old girl might be right tho buh the drastic move they took cos they were furious had help in landing into bigger trouble..
*faithful BV enemuwe thelma*
Jisos!
ReplyDeleteAbeg spell my creator name well.
DeleteJesus.....
DeleteJesus.....
DeleteJesus Onye Ebele!
DeleteThings are happening.
ReplyDeleteThe parents of the 3years old girl are wicked sha.
They were wrong in stabbing the poor girl and even went ahead to put pepper.
Kai, I feel for her.
They should just have warned her and report her to her parents.
I wish the judge will jail them without option of fine, to serve as warning to other people.
This babaric
ReplyDeleteOMG!
DeleteWtf is this???
ReplyDeleteWickedness!
Why stab the girl???
We live in a cruel world mehn!!!
That's wickedness please
ReplyDeleteStabbing a little girl's privates and smearing it with pepper is so cruel
The couple over reacted to the situation
The parent's reaction is too bad. why are they running from the Police if they know what they did is good. Very bad that Chidinma has to fondled the baby's private but still very very very bad the treatment meted to Chidinma.
ReplyDeletechildren of nowadays. May God help us to train our children in the way of the Lord
Stabbing the girl with a bottle in her vjay is so wrong. There are other ways to go about it. There are other punishments to give to the girl. Now they've ended up in the policce station and in the court with a possible prison sentence awaiting him.
ReplyDeleteOmg.....Things are happening
ReplyDeleteOMG!
ReplyDeleteShe(mama Peace) would have only applied pepper on Chidima's pussy na,she went too far by stabbing her in such a sensitive and delicate part of her body.
I admire mothers like this who defend their children in such a way...my mum can defend me with her life that's why I love her!
D couples r evil! Believe children are so spoilt these days. There was an incident dat happened to me far bk wen I was 20 years. My Anty came visiting wit her 2 of her children. D little boy was 4years, one afternoon I was asleep ND suddenly felt someone trying to shift my shorts. Inshort is fingers were already inside my shorts. I opened my eyes and saw dat little boy. I was shocked! I took him straight to his mum ND told him, instead she started abusing me, saying dat I want to spoil her child. Nobody believed me. Until after like some months, wen they Av left our house,d boy repeated dat same act to another gal ND this time around it was d mother dat caught him.
ReplyDeleteThis is what we call blind rage. If we all live the "an eye for an eye" life style, everybody will be blind. She molested your child, what happened to the cain or even taking it up with her parents? A 10year old girl is still a child. Now what they did over shadows what was done to their daughter.
ReplyDeleteI'm speechless.......
ReplyDeleteAh ah abeg she went to far abeg.dats wickedness, she should have just flogged her nd told her parents to talk to her
ReplyDeleteHow do people dole out this sort of wickedness? Going to the extent of stabbing her right in the privates! This level of wickedness is stomach churning! It would have been okay to flog/beat the 10yr old girl very well but mutilating her privates is absolutely wrong and sick!
ReplyDeleteWhy would the 10 yrs old girl do that? Where did she learn it from? Akuko!
ReplyDeleteThe couple went tooooo far sha.
Chidinma was wrong but @d same time what d couple did is gross. Stabbing and adding pepper n'ike nwa onye ozo! Mbanu! Only God knows what dis kinda couple can do to their maid if they ever get one. Meanwhile; I read that a 3years old girl was kidnapped yesterday somewhere @Ojuelegba Lagos. Mrs Kork help us bring d story down here.
ReplyDeleteThe girl's mother overreacted sha, a little spanking should do. Anyway, let the law take its course
ReplyDeleteVery cruel of the couple,wickedness @ it peak
ReplyDeletethey should have just warned her never to come close to their daughter or asked her parents to discipline her. stabbing her was way out of line
ReplyDeletelord have mercy
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not like this Stella, she's ten for God's sake. Discipline her, yes! Not maim her. Anyway let the law take its cause.
ReplyDeleteWhat's with people and rage? How do you let anger becloud your human judgment? Look at were they are now, if found guilty and sent to jail even for a day, who will protect their little girl; penny wise, pound foolish.
3yr old can lie! My friend 3yr n 4months old baby can Lie4 Africa. Who put this here? Is not me o. Who drank d coke? Is not me o. Who opened d biscuit? Is not me o. That's how it begins and parents overlook. But in this case..... I doubt it.
ReplyDeleteHaba! Stabbing her in a private part is barbaric.
ReplyDeleteThe 3 year cannot lie, but the couple went to far!!!!! The mother of the 10 year old should not have allowed her daughter to go alone with the couple, when such an accusation was already made. She should have been there to witness the interrogation. Then, she would be sternly warned not to do that again, than, this brutal act!!!! I wish the poor child soonest recovery.
ReplyDeleteNitty
A 10-year old fondles your daughter's privates and you resort to stabbing her. Those of you saying 'a mother's rage'... It is pure B/S. I feel so much pity for the 10-year old, imagine if it was their daughter. Circles get repeated, someone could have fondled the 10-year old, unfortunately, her own parents did not teach her to cry out. The little girl picked it up from somewhere, maybe in that same environment which I guess is either a face me face you or a tight space with so many neighbors.
ReplyDeleteThe poor 10- year old needs help and counseling. She is a bloody victim! As a mother, you may be blinded by rage not to see that, you could have beaten the hell out of her, you could have made her serve so many punishments, you could have reported her to the police, but what in the devil's name was going through your mind when you picked up a broken bottle to stab a 10- year old??? A baby? What? Picking up the bottle is forgivable, then going ahead to stab her in her privates?
Do you serve the devil? Only in Nigeria will she be granted bail. May she spend just three nights in a cell and get raped by her fellow women or stabbed in her privates.
