”I beat her for masturbating,” guardian justifies beating girl and sprinkling her with pepper.

Oluebube Amadi, 15, a primary 6 pupil, lives with Ebere on Muhammed Akinje Street, Ejigbo, Lagos State. A Good Samaritan who met her while she was writhing in pain on the street advised her to report the assault to the police. But
she turned down the idea for fear of being punished again by Ebere.

When questioned, Ebere said: “She touches her private parts with her fingers and she has started doing same to my daughters. I was really annoyed. When I asked her where she learnt it, she said she used to do it in the village. The beating I gave her was the highest since she has been living with me. I tied her hands and legs. Besides, she is used to stealing.”

Amadi on her part said:

 “She usually flogs me. I steal and do bombom (masturbate), but I did not steal that day. She beat me for sending her daughter to bring me soap to wash plates.” Neighbors say that’s how Ebere beats the girl every other day.

They even told her to take her back to the village if she can’t cope with her. Now, none of them bothers to intervene again whenever the girl is being flogged…. Pastor Chris said masturbation isn’t a sin.
