Thirteen-year-old Nkechi Oseh, who was locked indoors by her Madam, Betty Ifeoma, a staff of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, has been rescued by the police.
Ifeoma, who works in the Lagos State Office of the NNPC, locked in the maid at her residence, 30 Adeniran Ajao Estate, Anthony, Lagos, while traveling out of the country and left her with only two packets of cabin biscuit.
Oseh has been rescued by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Imohimi Edgal.
Oseh, an orphan, on who scars were spotted as a result of attacks, said whenever her boss travels and locks her in, she resorts to drinking water from the toilet when thirsty.
According to her, she has been locked up four different times since her uncle brought her from Igboju in Delta State to work for Ifeoma.
Pale and malnourished 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.”
Oseh, who is currently under the care of the child protection unit of the Ministry of Youth and Social Development in Lagos State, had empty packet of biscuits and a container of food, which was passed through the burglary proof for her to eat.
Imohimi Edgal, has vowed to get to the bottom of the matter
