The incident occurred in Unaun, Upenme, Owo Local Government Area of Ondo State and was reported to the police on Thursday.
According to the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Abayomi Jimoh, the girl suffered severe burn injuries and was rushed to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) in Owo, where she is receiving medical treatment.
