A Nigerian woman identified as Mrs. Ujunwa Ugwuoke has allegedly beaten her nine-year-old house help, Precious Korshima to death and set her corpse ablaze in the bush to cover up her crime.
The father of the victim, Mr. James Achikpi Korshima, while narrating the sad event to the Civil Rights Realisation and Advancement Network (CRRAN), Enugu, demanded justice for his late daughter, alleging that she was beaten to death by Mrs. Ujunwa Ugwuoke at Fidelity Estate, Enugu.

In a petition signed by CRRAN’s President, Olu Omotayo, which was obtained by Africa Investigative Magazine, the body urged the homicide section of the criminal and investigation department (State CIID), Police Headquarters, Enugu State, to order a serious investigation of the matter, noting that it was a clear case of murder.
It said, “we submit that this is a clear case of murder and the investigation of the case has nothing to do with the Anti-Kidnapping Base.

“We urge you to immediately order that a thorough investigation of this heinous crime be carried out by the Homicide section of the State Criminal and Investigation Department (State CID), of the State Police Headquarters, Enugu.
“Ujunwa Ugwuoke killed the little child in a cruel and barbaric way and dumped the corpse in the bush while the Igwe in question completed the unlawful act by ordering the burning of the corpse.”
“We join Mr. Korshima and Mr. Terfa Kaaimo, the President of the Tiv Community in Enugu to Demand Justice in this case. The killers should be made to face the full wrath of the law.”
