Tragedy struck when a 72-year-old man beat his 14-year-old daughter
to death in the Iba area of Lagos State over her refusal to attend The
Lords Chosen Church with him. The deceaseds mother, Mrs. Comfort Udin,
40, explained that her husband had been angry over their daughters
refusal to attend his church, The Lords Chosen.
Comfort, the mother of the deceased revealed that her husband, John
Udin, used a stick, covered with nails, to beat his daughter. One of the
nails perforated her forehead and she later died.
According to her, the victim, Ejiro Udin, began her journey to the
grave last week Tuesday after they told John that they were going to
church. The church was however a new church, which Comfort had started
attending with the children. She said she did not like Johns church
after she attended it once.
John had forbidden them from going to church that day. This order had
generated a quarrel and John started beating Ejiro with a whip. He
later dropped the whip, picked the stick, which had nails and slammed it
on her forehead. Rather than take the young girl to hospital, John was
alleged to have locked both mother and daughter inside the kitchen,
where they spent the night. By the time they took Ejiro to hospital on
Sunday, almost five days after the nail attack, it was too late. She
died at the hospital that same day……..
