A woman in Wukari, Taraba State, has been arrested by the police for allegedly committing a shocking act of violence against her step-grandson. The woman, whose name has not been disclosed, reportedly used a hot knife to cut off the lips of her step-grandson, Chinecherim Julius. This brutal act has left the young boy with severe injuries.
The incident took place in the Wukari Local Government Area of Taraba State. The woman accused of this heinous crime is the wife of the boy's grandfather. The assault has caused widespread outrage and condemnation from both local authorities and the general public.
Ibrahim Audu Angyu, the Senior Assistant on Media and Publicity to the Chairman of Wukari Local Government Area, confirmed the arrest of the woman involved. He expressed deep shock and disbelief at the cruel nature of the crime, stating, “It is beyond comprehension how a person can harm a child in such a brutal manner.”
Angyu emphasized that the act committed by the woman was not only inhumane but also a serious crime that cannot be ignored. He described the incident as a "gruesome and inexcusable act of violence" and called for the strongest possible condemnation from the public.
The Executive Chairman of Wukari Local Government Council, Hon. Dauda Agbu Samaila, took swift action by ordering the immediate arrest of the woman. This decision has been widely praised as it demonstrates that no one is above the law and that justice must be served, regardless of the circumstances.

Angyu noted, “The chairman’s intervention in ensuring that Chinecherim Julius received medical care and that the perpetrator was brought to justice is commendable and sets a strong example for others in positions of authority.”
He further stressed the importance of protecting children from harm, highlighting that the safety and well-being of children should be a top priority for everyone in society. Angyu urged the public to come together to create a safe environment where all children can thrive and grow without fear of violence.
“Acts of violence against children, such as what happened to Chinecherim Julius, cannot be tolerated or brushed aside. We must all work together to create a safe and loving environment for all children to thrive and grow,” he said.
The tragic incident has sparked conversations about the need for stronger measures to protect children from abuse and violence. As the community comes to terms with this disturbing event, there is a collective call for justice to be served and for measures to be put in place to prevent such occurrences in the future.
