Update! Big Woman Who Locks Her Maid For Weeks When Traveling Surrenders To Police

Few days after Lagos Commissioner of Police, Imohimi Edgal, led a team of policemen to rescue a 13-year-old girl identified as Nkechi Oseh, at No. 30 Adeniran, Ajao Estate Anthony, her boss has reported at the police station.According to the acting Lagos Police PRO, Chike Oti, her boss, Ms Betty Ifeoma, reported herself to the police, yesterday evening, and she is currently undergoing interrogation at the Human Rights section of Lagos State Police Command.

The suspect would be charged to court on Monday 27/11/2017. It was gathered that Ifeoma, a staff of NNPC Lagos state office, was in the habit of locking her up for weeks anytime she is travelling within or out of the country, leaving her with only two packets of cabin biscuit.

After she was rescued, Nkechi who looked malnourished, said she is an orphan. She said whenever her boss travels and locks her in, she resorts to drinking water from the toilet whenever she is thirsty.

It was observed that Nkechi had been subjected to series of domestic attacks as scars were seen all over her body. She told CP Edgal that she has been locked up four different times, since her uncle brought her from Igboju in Delta state.

In her words: “I have been locked up for two weeks, one-week, three-weeks when she traveled to London and since she traveled on Saturday. I have been crying before God helped me today.”

An empty packet of biscuits and a container of eaten food which was passed through the burglary proof for Nkechi to eat was discovered on the floor. She is currently under the care of the Child Protection Unit of the Ministry of Youth and Social Development.
