 AKWA NORD: 4-Year-Old Girl Severely Burned by Aunt in Douala


As reported by Cameroon News Agency, a little girl named Abigael, only four years old, suffered severe burns at the hands of her aunt in Douala.


 The aunt allegedly used a hot electric iron and a knife to cause the injuries, which were witnessed by both neighbors and former nannies who had worked with the family.


Neighbors took action after a third nanny filmed the child’s injuries and shared the video with her parents. Although the aunt appeared kind, neighbors mentioned she had a history of mistreating the child, possibly due to the grief of losing her own two children.


Abigael is now receiving care at a local hospital, and the aunt has been arrested by the police.
