Taiwo-Ojo, a lawyer, told our correspondent that apart from the dog bites and mark of iron, there were scars of lashes all over the girl’s body. She explained that she approached the reverend, who claimed his wife was playing with the victim when the hot iron burned her skin. She said, “I asked him if the iron is a toy but he was speechless. The woman didn’t tell us what the girl did that warranted such inhumane treatment but the girl said she was punished for bedwetting. According to the girl, the couple lured her to their house two years ago through her mother’s friend.
