A pregnant woman identified as Oby, is currently facing interrogation at the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly beating her maid, Miracle, to death on Lateef Aregbe Street, Ago Palace Way, Okota, in the Isolo area of the state.
It was gathered that the mother of two had descended on the eight-year-old on Saturday and beaten her till she collapsed and gave up the ghost.
She was allegedly plotting with some persons to dispose of the corpse when some neighbours raised the alarm and reported the case to the police.
The suspect was subsequently detained at the Isolo Police Division.
A resident of the area, who did not want to be identified, said the suspect had been beating Miracle for months.
He explained that anytime Oby, who hailed from Anambra State, was confronted by neighbours, she would shun and insult them.
He said, “She is a beautician and has two children and she is heavily pregnant with her third child. Her husband was deported from Libya before he travelled again to Angola, where he is now based.
“She brought the victim and another girl by name Chinacherem, from their village in Anambra State some years ago. They were formerly going to school before she stopped them.
The case is soon to be transfered to court.
