For daring to lick soup in the pot, a 33-
year-old man, Mr. Solarin Muyiwa has
poured hot water on his daughter's private
part, damaging part of her vagina in the
process.
Giving the level of injury, the 14-year-old
girl (name withheld) is currently undergoing
treatment at a government hospital in
Lagos while her father has been arrested
by the Social Welfare Department of the
Ministry of Woman Affairs.
The incident, which took place at 3, Adeyiga
Street, Ikorodu, have been attracting lots of
unsavoury comments against the Mr.
Solarin, a Laboratory Assistant at Spintex
Mill.
“The incidence took place two Fridays ago,
but a concerned neighbour who saw the
state of the young girl, put across a distress
call to the ministry. We responded
immediately and rescued the girl and she is
presently being treated in the hospital,”
said Mrs. Alaba Fadairo, Director of Child
Development in the Ministry.
“We were surprised when we saw the girl.
There were deep wounds on her body. Her
father poured hot water on her private
part. He said she licked soup from the pot.
The girl said she was given N50 for the day
and that she wanted to test if the soup was
hot or not ,” she added.
In his reaction, Mr. Solarin had this to say: “I
just want to apologise about it. I did it in
annoyance. I regret what I did and I just
want to apologise ... I just wanted to scare
her with the water so that she will know
the difference between good and bad. I did
not know it would result in this. I am very
sorry”.
Mrs. Fadairo disclosed that the father will be
arraigned in court soon.
