Man burns his eight-year-old daughter’s hand for allegedly stealing ¢10

An eight-year-old girl is receiving treatment at the Walewale

Government Hospital after her father assaulted her

with fire for allegedly stealing ¢10.

The victim, who has lost three fingers of her right hand,

was accused by her stepmother of stealing

the money from her grandmother.

The girl is said to have denied the accusation and was exonerated

by the grandmother, but her father, Alhassan Maijida,

insisted the money was with her and attacked the little girl.

He beat her with a giant stick leading to an eye

injuries before setting her hand on fire.
