According to the police, the suspect after beating up the girl inserted Aboniki balm, (methyl salicylate ointment) into her private parts and eyes. She later became unconscious and she was rushed to the hospital by Joy. The little girl was rejected at the first two hospitals she was rushed too, but was later admitted at Ikoyi Military hospital, where a good samaritan saw the situation of the girl and alerted an NGO who reported Joy to the police.
She was picked up and confessed to the crime, stressing that she had to do that because her father left her in her care and she has been warning her to stop bedwetting because she is too old for it. The police later found out that, Foziya’s father made her live with joy when she complained of a strange illness and loneliness pleading with him that she needed a companion.
Joy will soon be arraigned in court, but their family has stepped into this, insisting it is a family matter and should be settled the family way. Police are however saying because the girl is a minor, they will leave it to Government to decide if it should be treated as a family matter or not.
