A young lady who lives in Umuahia Abia State capital and goes by the name Mrs. Zazi David, has attempted to kill her 10-year-old maid with hot water mixed with ground pepper, leaving the skin of the kid peeled off.
It was a bizarre scene as the child, who could not seat or lie down because of the wounds, writhe in agony over the astounding attacks by her madam.

According to reports, the 10-year-old maid whose name was given as Ifunanya, lives with her madam at a housing estate behind Saclux Paint off Aba Road, in Umuahia
Informed sources said, Mrs. Zazi David, a Christ Embassy member, whose husband is said to live in South Africa has been regularly abusing the child; inflicting wounds on her young skin, resulting in series of scars on her body.
The latest occurred last Sunday when she (Zazi David) doused her victim with hot water boiled at 100 c degree centigrade with pepper, just because the little girl mistakenly broke a plate.
The source said “her body radiates like a kaleidoscope”, adding “It seems that she (Mrs. Zazi) has been scourging the child for sometime before finally dousing her with the hot water”.
“The cat was let out of the bag last week Sunday when the suspect forced the little girl to drink boiling hot water with pepper. This time, the horrendous attack burnt the little girl’s lips, her mouth, throat, voice box as well as esophagi, thus making it difficult for the girl to even breathe’, our Reporter was told.
It was gathered that the suspect was arrested after a patent medicine dealer she took Ifunanya to, raised alarm over her condition, that led Abia State Police Command to arrest one Mrs. Zazi David for attempting murder with the 10 year old maid

The patent medicine dealer, on seeing the wounds, advised the woman to take her to a hospital, but the suspect refused, thus prompting the dealer to raise alarm.
