The police in Ogun State have arrested a hairdresser, Kudirat Oyediran, for allegedly inflicting injuries on her stepdaughter, Rachael Oyediran.
It was learnt that 32-year-old Kudirat allegedly tortured the five-year-old for bed-wetting and disobedience.
Kudirat and Rachael live in Okeore, Atan Ota, in the Ado-Odo Ota Local Government Area of the state.
The mother of one was apprehended after a neighbour reported the alleged torture to the police at the Onipanu division.
It was gathered that Rachael’s mother died five years ago when she was three months old.She was said to have been under the care of the suspect, whom her father married a few years after.
The Abeokuta, Ogun State indigene, reportedly told the police that she beat Rachael for being “obstinate”, adding that she only used brooms to beat her.
She said, “She is my stepdaughter and I have been taking good care of her. But she is very stubborn. If I give an instruction, she won’t follow it. She is bed-wetting and I have cautioned her several times. She is also fond of stealing pieces of meat from the pot of stew. I only beat her with brooms; I don’t use any object on her. I promise not to beat her again.”
A police source said that the victim had been handed over to her father, Dele, who was made to sign an undertaking that the girl would be properly taken care of thenceforth.
The woman has a six-month-old baby.
“The girl would have been transferred to a motherless home, but her father and some community elders pleaded that she should not be taken there. The father wrote an undertaking to ensure her proper upkeep before she was released to him.”
The Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Muyiwa Adejobi, in a text message, confirmed the woman’s arrest, adding that the case would be charged to court.
He said, “The command has no tolerance for inhuman cases of such and will always fish out the culprits.”
Punch.
*Was the Father not there when the step mother was beating her before?

Oh my goodness! Pure wickedness. She's just 5 for crying out loud see how beating has made the little girl age more than she should. I can even tell from her back view that she has suffered. This is not fair. Would u beat your own child like this if she bed wets or steals from ur pot? There are other ways to discipline a child biko. Very wicked woman. Can't deal
DeleteAmen o!
DeleteLooks like she even used her nails or some sharp object, on the girl's back.
Heartless female.
I don't know how people do this really. I believe that anyone capable of this, is capable of cold blooded murder too.

I am amazed she used a broom on a human being..... in my place or according to my mum u don't flog anybody with a broom. My mother can stone u with shoe out of anger but she wld never touch u with a broom
DeleteWonder the kind of heart some people have to hurt a child
ReplyDeleteCan't even stand seeing a child cry
Abi em swear wickedness gv anybody wer be step mother? Haba! Even tho my step mum can never flog us, there are things she does at times which shows pure wickedness.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm Black people nd wickedness go hand in hand.. Yes sm black nd I know it
ReplyDeleteFear step mothers!
ReplyDeleteI hate it when a man allows his child to b maltreated by his wife. It shows he is a weakling. That child is better in the orphanage at least she would be loved by people who want her

ReplyDeleteNigerian orphanage homes aren't like those abroad o. The ones here the kids suffer in hunger as most sponsors are focused on the popular orphanage homes.and Nigerians don't have that mentality about going to an orphanage home and taken a grown up child.. Just few. So the east option was to make them sign and undertaken. And also the neighbors should keep watching them if something like that happens, the step mom should be arrested and locked up for a month..
DeleteWhy are step mom's always wicked.?? I'm yet to see a step mom thay loves her step kids like hers??
Wicked step mother.... Rot in jail
ReplyDeleteVery wicked woman. This is why most times instead of a mother to die, I"d rather the father dies.. Most women can go the extra mile for their children... But a man? Once he sees a new pussy he forgets his children..
ReplyDeleteMy neighbour died two yrs ago. Her son that was in 200l at the time had to drop out, he's learning to be a mechanic now. Their father re-married and has totally ignored their children. Their two young daughters couldn't even finish secondary school. The children eventually had to leave the house for them cos of maltreatment. The boy rented a room where he now stays with his sisters....
Some men are just very useless.
Chai. Dis is sad. How some men abandon their kids when they marry is really frightening!
DeleteBut I know men who would rather die before their wives raise their hands on his kids. Let alone maltreat them.
This baby is just 5 years old.
I mean what does a 5 year old know for goodness sake? Is it not ur duty to take her out to pee at nights? See her back. Kai!
Na wah!
DeleteAnd when they become successful tomorrow, he'll remember them, abi?
* sigh *

Will she torture her child also like this? Heartless human being.
ReplyDeleteThis Kudirat is a frustrated woman. Taking her anger on the little girl. 5 years old because she bed wet. I am sure she must have tribal marks like ibadan people. NO joy in her.
ReplyDeleteMay be she no get customer to do hair for her shop hence the frustration. IDIOT
Kwakwakwakwa...
DeleteIjiya!...
So it is only ibd pple dt hv tribal marks?senseless gal...wt d mouth of a fowl
DeleteGod knows I'll kill whoever does this to my child.
ReplyDeleteThis just pure wickedness. Is she not suppose to take her to pee at night? Even teens bed wet! Lord pls keep me alive to raise my children by myself.
Deleteas i always say. the heart of man is truly wicked... Stella goodmorning, how are you..... respond to my mails na, please..... i don beg oh..... i be your son oh
ReplyDeleteJust imagine! What kind of torture is this on a 5yrs old in the name of bedwetting? Some women though! And her useless father will see it and won't take action! God have mercy!
ReplyDeleteOoh God can u imagine,there is nothing compared to a mother's love,if her mother were to be alive she won't be treated this way,Father lord give me the grace to be able to take care of my children(Amen)
ReplyDeleteI imagine what the woman's reaction would be if another did same to her own child. God forbid I marry a woman capable of harming anyone's child. Any woman capable of such should be sent packing by their husbands.
ReplyDeleteI don't even understand why someone will inflict such injuries on an enemy not to talk of a ward.
ReplyDeleteThis is a baby for crying out loud!!!
How do you even get off doing something like this? How?
Don't be surprised if she gets off jail time.
DeleteTry this abroad na. They might even take it more serious than murder.
Mtchewww!

An End time step mother
ReplyDeleteThe police should have taken that girl to a motherless babies home. She would be better of there, did the father not see his wife beating her? Or did he not see the marks? He cannot claim to be ignorant of the maltreatment the girl have been going through in the hands of her step mother. God will keep the girl. If she claims she beat her because she bedwets and is stubborn can she beat her like this if she was her biological daughter? The heart of men is desperately wicked. God keep us mothers to be there for our children.
ReplyDeleteHmm.i don't put mouth in what I don't know the full story about.going this far was wrong sha.
ReplyDeleteExactly!
DeleteShut up there! U want to know d full story of what a 5yr old could possibly do to warrant this kind of beating...even if she broke all d breakables they have in the house,it doesn't warrant this. Whatever the little girl have done,she doesn't deserve this beating. Stay there and be waiting for full story instead of condemning this act in its entirety. Okpo!
DeleteEven if de said bed is plated with gold and diamond, its still doesn't deserve this inhumanity. Human beings can be cruel shaa
ReplyDeleteDevil in form of human. Wicked step mother.
ReplyDeleteJust passing, wicked woman
ReplyDelete@anon 10.12 ur a bastard for that comment.
ReplyDeleteThought I was the only one that felt like attacking that anon10:12....that was wrong!!!
ReplyDeleteIs the same women who cry domestic violence who maltreats other people's children most.
ReplyDeleteHow can any mother/woman think of beating a 5year old child like this. A lot of children has been suffering in the hands of women, nobody to speak for these innocent children.
Useless father, the reason i have my reserve when a widower who has little kids marries a new wife, the women pretend at the the beginning but later they bring out their true colours.
I pray God gives me strength, good health and long life, so i can take good care of my son. Training him in they ways that pleases God, instilling the fear of God in him.
I pity that little child, i feel so bad for her. Imagine the pain and trauma she goes through daily in the hands of that evil woman.
May God send her a helper.

ReplyDeleteOMG!!! My heart is broken over this picture, dis woman is very wicked. How can u beat a small helpless child like this over the flimsiest excuse of bedwetting??? The father is very wicked also to allow his daughter suffer like this under his care and protection.
