The Abia State Police has arrested and detained a civil servant, Ogechi Sunday, for allegedly using a hot knife to burn the buttocks of her maid.
Sunday told newsmen that she took the measure to tame the 14-year-old, Mary Sunday.
“The girl was fond of eloping each time I sent her on errands, so on this last occasion, I decided to take a drastic action to force her to disclose why she usually returned late from errands.
“So I put the kitchen knife on a lighted stove and when she eventually returned, I spanked her on the buttocks with the hot knife,” she said.
She, however, expressed regrets for her action, saying that she was moved by anger.
