Adeleye Kunle Reports
The woman claims her mother slashed her face and cut off her hand with a machete, TrackNews Reports.
Glory Smart Emenuwe, a young woman from Delta State’s Ezhionum community, has described how her mother allegedly abused her.
The woman claimed that in 2013, her mother nearly killed her by chopping off both of her hands and slashing her face with a machete.
“What happened to me could be compared to an accident because I never expected it,” she explained. My mother, on the other hand, slashed my face and cut off my hands.
“On that fateful day, when I was still very young, I woke up one night wanting to urinate, so my father asked my mother to lead me to the back of our house where I could urinate with a torchlight.”
“I didn’t realize my mother was holding a machete while I squatted to urinate.” The next thing I remember is her descending on me with the machete, and I collapsing.
“While I was down, she kept cutting me all over my body while I screamed.” My father rushed out and took the machete from her, raising an alarm that drew the attention of the neighbors.
“Unfortunately, by the time my father arrived, my mother had already achieved her goal.” My father also wanted to use the machete on her, but the neighbors stopped him.
“My father then had my mother arrested by the police.” She is, however, now late. In 2013, the incident occurred in Edo State.”
The victim requested assistance from the government and Nigerians, saying:
“I’d like to get into trading, but I don’t have any startup capital.” I only completed primary school, but if I can find a sponsor, I would like to continue my education.
“I come from a poor family with no helper.” This is why I have nothing to do, so your assistance will come in handy.”
