Blessing and her husband, a Nigerian couple, were arrested in Anambra state after being accused of brutalizing their 9-year-old house help, Idinma, with a pestle and a red-hot knife.
On May 12th, videos of Idinma with a bloated face and severe body injuries surfaced online, sparking outrage on social media.
The injuries were allegedly inflicted on Idinma, who lives with them and helps them care for their infant, after she dropped one of their newborn twins while holding them.
According to sources, Idinma’s donors allegedly denied her access to education. She is currently being treated in a hospital for her injuries.
A video of the nursing mother and her husband being questioned by members of the community has gone viral.

John_sen1: I’m proudly igbo but majority of igbo women has this hatred/dislike towards other kids funny enough the kid might be her sisters. They feel maltreatment is a way to treat house helps. Some of you capping watch ur mom maltreat ur nieces & nephew while u laugh or video the event. Doing nothing and allowing ur house help do all the chores at home is still maltreatment. POV# some Igbo women has no value for house helps may we be alive healthy & financially stable to raise our kids 😢😢😢

Olisa_ugo: This is wickedness and I’m very sure she hasn’t giving birth, if tomorrow doesn’t bless her with children it becomes a nightmare for her, but now she can’t take care of another person’s child. She doesn’t know blessings come with being a good person
