Single Mother in Court Over Alleged Brutal Attack on Teenage Daughter in Lagos
“I’m not a wicked mother, she started following boys, became rude and stopped listening to me. If I ask her to do anything she won’t do it. I wanted to scold her but I overeacted.”
— Mrs. Okezie told the court before she was remanded in Kirikiri, pending DPP’s advice.
The lady is a single mother of 4, her name is Augustina Okezie, 46. Her landlord never reported to police because they’re church members, even though she’s been abusing the kids for years.
Before this viral footage, she already smashed a bottle on her d@ughters head inside the room, the teenager’s scream alerted neighbors on time for a rescue, as her 46yo mom was about to st@b her with the broken pieces.
When they got outside, neighbors separated them. Then Mrs. Okezie pulled a kitchen knife and swore she would k!ll her teenage daughter. As we initially reported, Mrs. Okezie inflicted minor lacerations on her kid.
She later @ttacked the neighbor who made the video and then stylishly ran away, but LSNC successfully traced and apprehended her, before handing over to the police.
According to sources close to the family, her husband left due to her v!ol£nt and volatile character. He took two children and left her with two.
The Lagos State Government has now taken custody of the two children, the 15-year-old g!rl and her brother.
For cases like this, Lagos residents who have police phobia are advised to report them to the nearest Lagos Neighborhood Safety Corps (LNSC) office, as there is one in every local government.
