A father allegedly burnt his eight-year-old daughter’s hand as punishment for repeatedly engaging in stealing.

The story was shared by one Dr Okeme on his Instagram page with very graphic photos of the little girl’s damaged hands.

According to him, the eight-year-old victim was brought to his medical facility with complaints of pain, foul smell and inability to use her hands.

The doctor also stressed that the little girl is febrile and acutely ill adding that the hyperpigmented tissues were decaying.

“The palmer aspect of the hands, including regions over the thenar and hypothenar wey discharging of pus and a large ulcer with ragged edges with areas of hyperpigmented tissues obviously decaying were observed.

“We debrided extensively under GA, dressed and covered her up with iv antibiotics. She is presently stable and recuperating.”
