The police have re-arraigned a 17-year-old girl before an Igbosere Magistrate’s Court in Lagos for allegedly bathing her employer with hot water.
She was said to have poured the hot water on Dupe Agba, while she was asleep in her house on Osho Street, Lagos Island, on September 14.
The teenager is standing trial on two counts of assault and causing grievous bodily damage under Sections 171 and 243 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos.
Prosecuting police Inspector Philip Osijale said the defendant committed the offence a day after she was employed by the victim.
Osijale said the defendant boiled water and monitored her boss until she slept off and then poured it on her.
He alleged that the defendant told the police she committed the offence intentionally to teach the woman a lesson.
The assault, he said, caused the woman injury on her chest, hands and other parts of her body.
Osijale said the victim was still undergoing treatment.
The suspect pleaded not guilty.
Magistrate W. Balogun granted her N100,000 bail with two sureties in the like sum.
She adjourned the matter till October 6, for mention.
