A doctor at Federal Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki, Jane-Glad Ugba
has been arrested for allegedly pouring boiling cooking water on a
16-year-old boy.
The boy, Nwanga Chidiebere, is a JSS 3 student of Presco secondary school, Abakaliki, who lives with the doctor.
It was reported that the eldest son of the doctor had left the house
door wide open but Chidiebere was wrongly accused of the offence. While
he was being punished, the doctor accused him additionally of burning
the yam he was asked to cook.
To punish him, Ugba was said to have emptied the cooked yam and hot
water on Chidiebere’s back, chasing him out of the house. He slept in a
church overnight and in the morning, while roaming the streets, a female
member of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) found
him and took him to the hospital.
It was when Ugba resumed work that she saw the boy on admission at
the Plastic Surgery Department of the hospital. The state police
spokesman, ASP George Onuorah, confirmed the incident and disclosed that
Ugba had been arrested and arraigned in court.
Meanwhile, a young man who pretended to be a woman and worked as a
housemaid for eight months has been arrested recently. He managed to
gull his employees for more than half a year, pretending to be a woman.
