Man batters wife, daughter for playing lotto

Miss Kafayat Kareem, 12, would have died from the wounds she sustained while her father was assaulting her mother but for some Good Samaritans. 

It was gathered that when the victim was trying to stop her father from beating her mother, he became furious and pounced on her. He reportedly beat Kafayat with wire.
The incident, which happened on July 7 at Orile-Iganmu area of Lagos State, was reported at Area ‘C’ Police Command. It was learnt that members of a vigilance group, who were on night patrol at Oyingbo Market, saw the girl squirming in pains inside one of the stalls.
They rushed her to Star Clinic at Ebutte-Metta where she was receiving treatment.
 Kafayat told our correspondent that she ran away from home after receiving severe beating from her father. 
She said: “My offence was that I tried to stop my father from beating my mother who he accused of using her hard earned money to play lotto. “It was when I was sleeping in the market that some vigilantes came and rescued me. After seeing my wounds, they took me to the hospital where I am presently receiving treatment.
