A couple, Mr Philip Iboko and Mrs Agartha Iboko, were on Monday, arrested by operatives of the Ebonyi State Police Command for torturing an 8-year-old pupil, Osinachi Iboko.
The arrest followed a viral video on the social media where the little girl was kept in the scorching sun with her two legs tied together by her madam, Mrs Iboko.
Osinachi is said to have lived with the accused couple for two years.
Mr and Mrs Iboko, who hail from Izzi Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, unleashed their anger on the poor little girl for allegedly eating part of the N10.00 sweet meant for their two-year-old baby.
It was gathered that it took the intervention of passionate neighbours (Mr Chinedu and Mr Raymond) to untie and get the little girl off the noose.(Daily Independent)
