The Nigeria Police Force has confirmed the arrest of Ihsanatu Shaaibu and one other unnamed suspect for physically abusing her five-year-old stepdaughter.

This was made known in a statement signed by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Muyiwa Adejobi, and shared on X.com on Thursday.

According to Adejobi, the arrest took place earlier on Thursday, and investigations are now underway to ensure justice is served.

The statement read, “CHILD ABUSE: In relation to the viral video where a woman identified as Ihsanatu Shaaibu physically abused and caused grievous injuries to her stepdaughter, a five-year-old.

“The suspects have been arrested today, Thursday 9th Jan 2025, and will be prosecuted as soon as investigations are concluded. We will keep you abreast of the proceedings.”

Recall that a teacher, Stella Nwadigo, was arrested and arrainged for physically assaulting a three-year-old pupil at Christ-Mitots International School in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State.

Nwadigo was apprehended after a video surfaced online showing her repeatedly slapping a young child, Abayomi Micheal.
