Abuja CP Orders Arrest Of Woman For Alleged Abuse And Burning Of Her Maid [Video]

The Commissioner of Police, Federal Capital Territory, Adewale Ajao has arrested a woman after a disturbing video showed her 14-year-old maid covered in burns and bruises.

The girl, Bashariya, from Zamfara State, said her parents sent her to work as a maid in Abuja after fleeing bandit attacks in their hometown.
