A woman in Nigeria poured hot oil over her 10 year-old son as punishment for eating too much leftovers.

A woman in Nigeria poured hot oil over her 10 year-old son as punishment for eating too much leftovers.


According to the mother she came home from work to find her 10-year-old Ebuka Ochichi had eaten too much macaroni. The mother was furious and ordered her sister to heat up some oil. The mother then poured this oil on her own son.


A neighbour reported strange happenings in the house to the police. The mother was arrested.


The mother claims that she did not mean to harm her child. However, tribal chief disagrees. He says "How can she say she meant no harm? She kept the boy in the house for three days without even making an attempt to take him to the hospital for treatment." "If not that God exposed her through her neighbour, maybe the boy could have got infected and perhaps died."
