After the couple’s daughter returned home from playing with Chidinma, she complained to her parents that Chidinma had fiddled with her private part. Angered by the allegation, the girl’s mother Eucharia went to Chidinma’s house and met with Chidinma’s mother, Ofia.

She askedto see Chidinma and when she saw her, she told the little girl tofollow her. On getting to the couple’s house, she asked if she did such to her little girl but Chidinma denied the allegation and was beaten up, stabbed with a broken bottle in her private and rubbed it with pepper. When Chidinma's mother heard her child , she rushed to the couple’s house but found that they have locked the door .

After injuring Chidinma  the couple immediately fled their compound. They were later arrested by the Okokomaiko Police station and dragged before an Apapa Magistrate Court on a three count charge Bordering on assault.

The case is still pending in court.
