Ogbonnanya Chiamaka, a doctor, was detained by police officers in Edo State on suspicion of abusing children.
The state’s Esan Central local government area employs Chiamaka, who will be charged in court after the inquiry is complete, according to Jennifer Iwegbu, the state police command’s spokesperson, who confirmed the situation in a statement on Saturday.
“Upon interrogation by teachers in the school, the child said she doesn’t want to live with her guardian anymore and requested to be returned to her biological mother as her guardian has been physically abusing her using a stick to reprimand her all the time.
“Consequently, the teacher reported the abuse to the appropriate authorities for necessary action.
“The said guardian, one Dr. Ogbonnaya Chiamaka ‘F’ who is 41-year-old was arrested by the police.
“Dr. Ogbonnaya Chiamaka will be arraigned in court after the completion of investigation.”
