The
Rivers State Police Command in Port Harcourt on Wednesday paraded a lawyer,
Elizabeth Agboje, who allegedly tortured her adopted daughter for over seven
years.
The
nine-year-old victim identified as Miss Bright Maxson, was tagged a witch before
reportedly being tortured by her foster mother.
Elizabeth
who has two biological children, was said to have continually subjected the
girl to degrading treatment without minding the implication.
According
to the State Commissioner of Police, Mr Ahmed Zaki, Agboje was apprehended by
the Human Rights Department of the Command for allegedly torturing Bright
Maxson.
“The
Human Rights Officer of the Command, DSP Emmanuel Ukwenya, arrested one
Barrister Elizabeth Agboje, who allgedly had been consistently torturing and
assaulting little Miss Bright Maxson, accusing her of being a witch and a
thief,’’ he said.
Zaki
said “the lawyer is a suspect who has made useful statement to the police and
as soon as investigation is concluded, she will be charged to court for proper
prosecution.”
