Grace Monday, who has been married for 7 years without having any child of her own travelled to Kadunato visit her older brother. When she got there, she asked him to give her his 3 year old daughter so she could train and take care of her well being. Her brother agreed and gave his 3 year old daughter, Miracle Peter, to her sometime in July 2015.
The 3 year old who apparently hadn’t been potty trained kept defecating in the house. Probably because Monday who hadn’t potty trained the toddler, didn’t put diapers on her either.

The toddler’s defecation around the house always got on Monday’s nerves and rather than help the toddler by potty training her, she flogged her severely, hoping the pain she inflicted on her would stop the behavior.  Monday was arrested in Lagos for allegedly torturing the three-year-old niece, Miracle Peter, to a coma. According to reports, she allegedly flogged the little child for several hours at their home in the Ireodun, Agege area of Lagos State and subsequently slammed her head against a wall causing the toddler to faint.

On the day the toddler was beaten to a coma, she was rushed to a private hospital and was later referred to a general hospital in the state for intensive care. Monday’s neighbour, Adijat Fatai, said she had warned her on several times to stop flogging the child. She said, “Miracle (Peter) always defecated all over the house. I called Grace and advised her to be patient with the little girl because it could be that God was using the girl to test her patience.
“Sometime in October, I saw her cleaning the child up after she had defecated; she was beating her as well. I warned her three different times to stop flogging her because it was getting excessive. She didn’t listen to me and I  immediately suspected she was under a spell. “I told her husband to caution her but he told me Miracle’s father instructed them to beat her till she stopped purging. I left them and went inside my room. It was the following morning she came to call me that the girl had fainted.”
