An 8-year old girl from Nigeria suffered burn wounds after her father placed a hot stone on her breasts to prevent them from growing further.
The man identifies as Banjo Adegboyega, an engineer based at Ajegunle, allegedly cut off his daughter’s breast as he massaged them with the hot stone.
It was gathered that Banjo placed a stone on fire, after it became hot; he wrapped it in a cloth and placed it on his daughter’s developing breasts, causing her unimaginable agony. He was said to have carried out the act in the presence of his wife.
The matter was reported to the Advocates for Children and Vulnerable Persons Network (ACVPN).
“He turned himself into a medical doctor and heartlessly placed stone in a fire, and then used it to massage the survivor’s breasts, so that the breasts will stop increasing in size,” said Ebenezer Omejalile, Co-founder of ACVPN.
“The child was burnt on her left breast following this action from her father, who thinks the child was too young to develop breasts,” she added.
The girl’s mother also complained that the father had repeatedly beaten the child over the same reason.
“This is a red flag, and the child is in serious pains. In addition, we discovered the left breast of the survivor was completely cut off as a result of the brutalization of the father.” Omejalile said.
The brutal father is also said to have been bathing the girl daily instead of his wife sparking more anger among members of the group.
They argued that should be further investigated, to ensure that he was not a pedophile and had not been sexually violating the child.
“We engaged him through and he admitted to the crime. He tried to blame his wife for his negative actions. The most annoying aspect was when he said that he used to bathe the eight year old girl every day,”Omejalile further said.
The suspect is currently behind bars as investigations in the matter continue.
