Nigerian caregiver arrested in Toronto over alleged assault

A Nigerian woman working as a caregiver in Toronto, Canada, has been arrested by the police over an alleged assault incident. Authorities said the arrest followed a complaint made against her, although full details of what led to the incident have not yet been made public.

The caregiver was reportedly taken into custody after police received a distress report involving a person under her care. Officers responded to the scene and carried out preliminary investigations before making the arrest. The alleged victim is said to be receiving medical attention and support.

Police officials stated that the case is still under investigation and that the suspect will be allowed to defend herself in court. They also reminded the public that an arrest does not mean a person is guilty, as the law requires proper trial before any conclusion is reached.

The incident has drawn attention to the challenges caregivers face abroad, including work pressure and emotional stress. Community leaders are calling for calm and fairness while the legal process takes its course.
