 Man is remanded by an Imo court for burning a maid's buttocks

Egemba



Uzoma Egemba, a guardian, has been placed on remand at the Owerri Correctional Center after being accused of scalding his 12-year-old maid Chimkamso Ekeocha's body and buttocks for using his kids' bicycles.

Egemba was arraigned by the state's police on Wednesday and then remanded by P.C. Nnoromole of the Owerri Magistrate's Court.

The judge remanded the defendant and set a hearing date of July 20 to hear the Department of Public Prosecutions' report after claiming that she lacked the authority to hear the case.
The magistrate had the constitutional authority to hear the case, according to the accused's attorney, K. U. Alisigwe, but the jurist insisted that she lacked the jurisdiction to do so.

The magistrate reminded him that she was not recording him as Alisigwe continued.

Ogechi, the attorney for the police, who had taken out a remand notice, concurred with the magistrate that she lacked the authority to hear the case.

"That you Egemba Uzoma, on June 26, 2022, at area L World Bank Housing Estate in the Owerri magisterial district did unlawfully and without justification wound one Chikamso Ekeocha by giving her multiple deep wounds on her back using a very hot frying spoon placed at a burning cooking gas and intentionally placed on her back which caused multiple maim on her back, got her disfigured, and does gracious harm to Owerri.

Following the global success of a video shot by the victim's instructor, Egemba was taken into custody last week.

The extent of the alleged harm that the accused allegedly inflicted on the minor was evident in the video.

Concerned Nigerians, led by a social media influencer named Darlington Ibekwe, a journalist and activist named Chidiebube Okeoma, and others, including members of the National Human Rights Commission and Joy Onuoha from the Vulnerability and Rights Project Initiative, arrested the accused, took the minor to the Imo Specialist Hospital Umuguma, and led the advocacy for her well-being.

After Nigerians, including the state chapter of the International Federation of Women Lawyers, came to her aid, the minor had been treated and released from the hospital.

 Joe Biden unintentionally divulges a "cheat sheet" his aides gave him, instructing him to "take YOUR seat and deliver brief comments." During a meeting with business executives at the White House, US President Joe Biden unintentionally displayed a "cheat sheet" with simple instructions on where to sit and what to do. Biden mistookly handed the list of directions to the photographers, which stated to "take YOUR seat," "YOU deliver brief comments," and "YOU go." The 79-year-old, who is said to have early-stage dementia, was also told to speak with some attendees, engage them in conversation, and thank them before departing. Major worries about the President's wellbeing and mental capacity as he approaches 80 have been raised as a result of his errors.
