A nursing mother received the ire of members of her community after she allegedly k!lled her maid in Owerri, Imo State.
A video shared online shows the nursing mother carrying her child in a hospital in Owerri.
A crowd surrounds the woman as they accuse her of k!lling her maid who is seen lying lifeless in a hospital bed.
As they confront the woman, the crowd gets agitated and someone had to warn them not to hit the nursing mother.
“Guy, no hit am, no hit am,” a voice is heard saying.
“She’s going to NAPTIP straight,” another says.
According to journalist Nonsonkwa Ochi War, the woman was apprehended by neighbours after the incident.
The underage maid was allegedly punished for sitting with the woman’s children to watch TV and this ultimately resulted in her death.
In the video shared online, the nursing mother is seen explaining herself but the voice of the crowd drowned hers.
“Very wicked woman. Is that not someone’s child?” Someone asks while showing the body of the maid.
“See her body, see what she did to her,” onlookers are heard saying as they film the girl’s body with their phones.
The nursing mother is later heard narrating how she went to the market, returned home, and started cooking, but the voice of the crowd drowns hers again while they call her names.
“You’re wicked. You’re a wicked soul,” they tell her, adding, “See the child she took.”
The video has sparked outrage online, with many joining the woman’s neighbours to call for justice for the child.
