She was reported to have inserted a hot knife into the girl’s private parts and also burned her face and buttocks with a hot electric iron.
Women from Awgu LGA in Enugu have placed a N1 million bounty on an Anambra woman, Adachukwu Okafor, for brutalising her 11-year-old home help.
Operating under the Umuada Awgu Global Association (UAGA), the group also issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Ms Okafor to hand herself over to the police.
UAGA president Chinemerem Anyi announced the financial reward for any informant on the fleeing woman’s whereabouts at a briefing on Thursday in Enugu.
According to Ms Anyi, anybody who provides the police, Anambra government, or other relevant authorities with useful information that can lead to the woman’s arrest will smile home with N1 million from the group.
She said Ms Okafor, who hails from Anambra and lives in Onitsha, was accusing the victim of touching the private parts of her eight-year-old daughter while bathing her.
Ms Anyi said, “It beats our imagination that almost three weeks after the woman perpetrated the evil act, the police were still saying that she is still at large.”
She said the organisation was worried “going by the manner the matter was being handled by the Anambra police command.”
She said the group also issued the police a 48-hour ultimatum to apprehend the perpetrator or incur its wrath.
Ms Anyi added, “The Awgu women have been resisting the temptation of taking the law into our hands over the matter as civilised people but we warn that such calm disposition should not be taken for granted or weakness.

Ms Anyi added, “The Awgu women have been resisting the temptation of taking the law into our hands over the matter as civilised people but we warn that such calm disposition should not be taken for granted or weakness.
“We are heartbroken over the barbaric act, and today, we gathered for this important press briefing over the recent brutalisation of our daughter, Miss Happiness Nwafor, by her wicked madam. We are using this platform to call on the woman to better submit herself to the police or other relevant authorities, because no matter where she is, she will be fished out.
“Our searchlight is on you and we will not rest until justice is served on this matter.”
The group urged the police and Anambra Government to, as a matter of urgency, use every arsenal to apprehend the woman, saying that it was being pushed to the wall over the issue.
On February 7, the group staged a peaceful protest in Enugu, demanding justice for the victim.
On Tuesday, the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development announced a N2 million reward for any person with useful information on the woman’s whereabouts.
Ms Okafor allegedly brutalised her house girl, Happiness Nwafor, whom she brought in January to live with her. She was reported to have inserted a hot knife into the girl’s private parts and also burned her face and buttocks with a hot electric iron.
Meanwhile, the police have declared the woman wanted.
