A sad and painful story has come out of Agbor, Delta state, and it has left many people shocked, angry, and deeply upset.
According to reports spreading across the community, two young girls who lost their mother were badly treated by the woman who was meant to care for them. This woman was their stepmother. Instead of giving them love, safety, and protection, she is accused of doing things that no child should ever face.
Neighbours and people who later saw the children said the girls were treated with great cruelty. One of the children was badly injured on her face. Her lips and ears were cut, leaving wounds that may never fully heal. Her stomach was also burned, and one of her legs was broken. Because of this, the child may live with these injuries for the rest of her life.
The second child also suffered serious harm. Both of her hands were broken. Her lips were burned, and one of her legs was fractured. Her small body now carries many marks that tell a story of pain no child should know.
People who watched videos and saw pictures of the children said they could not hold back their tears, You can watch the video here. Many said their hearts felt heavy, and their spirits were shaken. The sight of the injuries was too painful to look at for long. These were not the injuries of an accident. They were injuries caused by human hands.
What has made this story even more painful for many is the reason behind the abuse. The children were treated this way because their mother is no longer alive. People close to the case say the girls became helpless after losing their mother, and the person meant to stand in for her failed them completely.
In Agbor and beyond, people are asking hard questions. How could someone look at two small girls and cause them such pain? How could a home become a place of fear instead of comfort? Many mothers who heard this story said it touched them deeply. Some said it made them hug their children tighter. Others said it reminded them how unsafe life can become for children who have no mother to speak for them.
Across social media and in quiet conversations, there is growing anger. Many people say cases like this are becoming more common. They say cruelty towards children, especially children who have lost one or both parents, is rising. Some women have also spoken out, saying it hurts them to see harm coming from another woman to children who only needed care.
Community members are now calling on the authorities to act fast. They want a full investigation. They want the truth to come out clearly. Many are demanding very strong punishment under the law for anyone found guilty of such acts. They say the law must speak loudly so that others will think twice before hurting a child.
Child rights groups have also added their voices. They say children without parents are among the most vulnerable in society. They depend fully on adults for food, shelter, safety, and love. When the adults fail them, the damage can last a lifetime.
As this case continues to unfold, many eyes are watching. Many hearts are aching. Two young girls from Agbor are now at the centre of a story that has shaken a community and stirred strong emotions across the country. Their pain has become a cry that many people say must not be ignored.
