her buttocks with fire and abandoned her without treatment.
Komolafe Dare Abiodun disclose the development in an update posted on Wednesday, August 2.
"Finally, Justice has smiled at Hilda Joseph over her cruel and brutal
Anty Kemi Stephen. She was sentenced today to one year imprisonment
without option of fine by the Judge at Magistrate Court 7, Barnawa,
Kaduna. Her jail term was reduced from 5yrs to 1yr because she is
heavily pregnant. At least this will serve as a deterrent to others who
engage in wicked act against children" he wrote.
