push a father, mother or a legal guardian to inflict grievous harm on
their children or ward. It's so sad'
Another source said '' The mother is the abuser of her child. She
broke a bottle and stabbed the girls hands . The nurses also discovered
marks on her body She said her mother used blade to cut her. She is
also lying on behalf of her mother.She was trying to hide her mother because she has been brain washed
The little she revealed to us was because the nurses tried to calm her down not to be scared".
The girl's aunt stated " She is 12 years old. She is my Brother's child. He and the mother had the child in Malaysia out of wedlock. She got married to another man and she has 3 other children for him
Her and her husband relocated to Nigeria about 2 years ago, she had no contact with my brother
She
has been maltreating her since when she was small because friends
always told him he could not report in Malaysia because she could get
deported. So when she got to Nigeria I think she already had issues
with her husband and his family.On the child So
they asked her to go and return the child that was what we heard Before
then she has not been in good terms with our family has she has insulted
everyone. So she suddenly showed up. The child's name is Precious
Awoniyi. They resides within Baruwa Ipaja Areaa Alimoso in Lagos ".
