A husband has called for help as unknown to him, his wife locked their teenage house girl out on a lonely street in Asaba, Delta State, in the midnight cold.
Good Samaritans who were driving by saw the teenager at about 12:18am, out alone, crying and shivering in the dead of the night and stopped to ask her what the problem was.
She responded that she was locked out by her madam and said her name is Blessing. The passersby began to bang on the gate prompting the woman’s husband to come out.
He lamented that he had no idea the maid was not inside the house. According to him, he only just returned from the APC convention in Abuja and asked his wife where the house girl was.
He stated that the wife responded she had no idea, he then assumed she was sleeping inside.
The man lamented that the wife is in the habit of maltreating other people’s children and urged the visitors to help him report her to the police.
Blessing on her part, stated that she went out with no food all day to hawk some items for her mistress only to return and be locked out once again.
The father of the house added that if they had come with the police, he would have handed his wife over to them.
In his words, “If you brought police with you, I’d be very happy. I’ll take her and hand her over to them. She has been maltreating this girl.”
He added that he has consistently advised his wife to “Take the girl home, no. Very wicked woman.”
Crying, the maid revealed that even when her madam came out to change over the electric power system, she saw her outside but went back inside and locked the door.
The husband added that his wife sent Blessing out to sell drinks for her then locked her out when she came back.
He said that his son gave him heartbreaking details about how his wife slapped the girl earlier in the day and added that, “She hasn’t given her food since morning o,” he added.
“Nancy Nwaka,” is her name, the husband told the the concerned persons and asked them to do whatever they want about his wife’s action.
He then gave them his own phone number while the people told him they already got the house girl’s mother’s number from her.
They then promised to return at daybreak with security operatives.
