EFFORTS by physicians to save the life of Miss Ita Bassey-Eno, a maid who was allegedly set ablaze by her boss Mrs. Nkese Iroakasi in Surulere area of Lagos, has proved abortive as Eno passed on at the weekend at the Burns and Trauma Unit of the Gbagada General Hospital.
Eno battled for life five days after she was rushed to the hospital.
Mrs. Iroakazi allegedly set her housemaid ablaze in Surulere, Lagos for stealing a piece of meat from the pot of soup last week.
Meanwhile, homicide investigators at the State’s Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Panti, Yaba have swung into action and arrested the said mistress who is now in their custody. Sources at the SCID told The Guardian that the matter would be fully investigated to the latter and the culprit brought to justice.
It would be recalled that the incident took place at Iroakasi’s home on No. 7 Adeniran Ogunsanya Street, after Eno rushed out of the apartment with fire on her body, apparently with an attempt to plunge into a gutter in order to quench the raging fire on her body. Unfortunately, her strength failed her as she was said to have collapsed before she could get to the gutter.
Although her mistress, a nurse at an undisclosed hospital in Surulere has denied the allegation at the Bode Thomas Police Station, she admitted that she reprimanded the girl for stealing a piece of meat from her pot of soup.
