The Rivers
State Police Command in Port Harcourt on Wednesday paraded a lawyer, Elizabeth
Agboje, who allegedly tortured her adopted daughter for over seven years.
The
nine-year-old victim identified as Miss Bright Maxson, was tagged a witch
before reportedly being tortured by her foster mother.
Elizabeth

girl to degrading treatment without minding the implication.
According to
the State Commissioner of Police, Mr Ahmed Zaki, Agboje was apprehended by the
Human Rights Department of the Command for allegedly torturing Bright Maxson.
“The Human
Rights Officer of the Command, DSP Emmanuel Ukwenya, arrested one Barrister
Elizabeth Agboje, who allgedly had been consistently torturing and assaulting
little Miss Bright Maxson, accusing her of being a witch and a thief,’’ he
said.
Zaki said
“the lawyer is a suspect who has made useful statement to the police and as
soon as investigation is concluded, she will be charged to court for proper
prosecution.”
