The woman who beat up her 2-year-old daughter and called her
a prostitute after she caught a man raping her has been sent to a
rehabilitation center for mentally challenged people by the Lagos state
government and her two children taken away from her.
A statement released by the state government this morning,
says the rescue operation was carried out by officials of the Ministry of Youth
and Social Development after the video of the woman abusing her daughter was
shared online by a resident of the state.
Explaining the measures taken by the Ministry which led to
the rescue of the mother and two children, the Permanent Secretary, Mrs.
Yewande Falugba stated that as soon as the Ministry became aware of the
incident, immediate action was embarked upon to rescue the children at Oniru
beach, where they lived with their mother, on Sunday, 7th of June 2020, through
a combined effort of the Child Protection Unit of Ministry, Police Officers and
the reporter who initially challenged the woman at Idumota.
She said the two children believed to have been abused, were
taken for medical examination and treatment, adding that they are currently
placed in one of the government-approved orphanages in the State for adequate
care pending completion of investigations into the matter.
She added that the mother of the two children, who was
discovered to be mentally imbalanced, has since been taken to the State-owned
rehabilitation center for mentally challenged persons.
