A married woman, Chisom Chukwunyere, and her husband, Chukwudi, were on Friday, 
October 16, arraigned before the Anambra State Sexual and Gender-Based Violence 
Court, Awka, Anambra State, on charges bordering on the grievous harm caused on 
an 11-year-old child, Chiziterem Frank Ozuruigbo, who was residing with them.

 

The couple was arrested after shocking photos and videos showing battered Chizeterem
went viral. He was rescued after neighbors in the compound where he lived with the
couple raised an alarm about his battered look. 

 

According to the 5-count charge brought against the couple, the married woman was
accused of repeatedly assaulting and burning Chiziterem with thermally liquefied
plastic, while her husband, who is the second defendant, failed to seek medical 
attention for him and kept him away from school.

 

In count two of the charges brought against the couple, they are accused of unlawfully
causing grievous harm to Chiziterem by repeatedly beating him and applying thermally
liquefied plastic to his body.

 

In count three, the woman is separately accused of unlawfully attempting to fatally
injure Chiziterem, by repeatedly beating him and applying thermally liquefied plastic
to various parts of his body, thereby inflicting severe burn injuries and endangering
his life.  

 

In counts four and five, the woman was also separately accused of offensive conduct
against Chiziterem, and willfully and knowingly placing the minor in fear of physical
injury.

 

The couple pleaded not guilty to all 5 counts. Through their lawyers, they announced
they will be going for a plea bargain, which the prosecution team did not oppose.
