A six-year-old child is in severe pains after her aunty allegedly poured kerosene on her head to teach her a lesson in Nigeria.

The child was reportedly abused by her dad’s sister.

Alice Sunday John, the child’s mother, said her sister-in-law poured kerosene on her child to “show her”.

Meanwhile, Nollywood actress, Hilda Dokubo, has since shared a video of the child and called on the right authorities to intervene.
