A 13-year-old girl Nkechi Oseh, have been rescued by the Lagos
state commissioner of Police Ag CP Imohimi Edgal from her residence
at No 30 Adeniran Ajao Estate Anthony, where she was locked in by
her madam.
Nkechi’s employer, one Mrs Betty Ifeoma, a staff of NNPC Lagos
state, had locked her inside the house with a packet of biscuit
before travelling out of the country.
It was gathered that the woman was in the habit of locking
Nkechi up for weeks anytime she is travelling within or out of the
country leaving her with little or no food to eat.
The Commissioner of Police had stormed the residence in a rescue
operation after he was informed of the situation by a reliable
source.
After she was rescued, Nkechi who was looking pale and
malnourished, said she is an orphan. She revealed that whenever her
boss travels and locks her in, she resorts to drinking water from
the toilet when thirsty.
Nkechi Oseh,
It was observed that Nkechi had been subjected to series of
domestic attacks as scars were seen all over her body. She told the
commissioner of police that she has been locked up at four
different times since her uncle brought her from Igboju in Delta
state.
In her words, the frail-looking Nkechi said “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”
During the rescue operation, 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. Nkechi is currently
under the care of the child protection unit of the ministry of
youth and social development Lagos state.
The commissioner of police has vowed to get to the bottom of the
matter.
