A 37-year-old upcoming artist, James Achikpi Korshima is seeking justice after his 9-year-old daughter, Precious was allegedly beaten to death by her boss, Mrs Ujunwa Ugwoke in Enugu State.
Ugwoke was said to have beaten the girl who was her live-in house help to death for not answering her call on time, she however dumped her corpse in a bush where the body was consequently set ablaze on the order of the community’s traditional ruler.
Speaking with a human rights organisation based in Enugu, Korshima said: “My daughter started living with Ujunwa in Fidelity Estate, Enugu since March 2022. On Nov 10, 2022 I received a strange phone call from an unknown caller using Ujunwa’s phone. The caller claimed that they kidnapped Ugwuoke ,her baby and my daughter and demanded ransom of N20million
I immediately reported the matter to the police & after some days at the anti-kidnapping base that Ugwuoke admitted that she beat Precious to death and dumped the corpse off Port-Harcourt Expressway.
