The Commissioner of Police, Federal Capital Territory, Adewale Ajao has given an order for a woman accused of subjecting a 14-year-old girl to physical abuse and starvation in Abuja to be arrested. 

 

The order for her arrest followed a viral video showing the girl, identified as Bashariya, narrating her ordeal in Hausa. 

 

Bashariya, originally from Zamfara State, said she was taken to Abuja after her parents fled their hometown due to bandit attacks and took refuge in an Internally Displaced Persons camp in the Gwiwa Eka area. 

 

Bashariya said she was hired as a maid and taken to Abuja with the promise that she would get a better life there. 

 

However, she claims she was starved, beaten, and even burnt by her guardian. 

 

The video shared online showed burn marks and old and new bruises all over her body. 

 

The FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, confirmed that the Commissioner of Police had taken swift action upon seeing the video. 

 

She said the Divisional Police Officers across the FCT had been directed to locate and arrest the woman responsible for the abuse.
