Another young girl has been brutalised by her madam in Anambra State.
The former Managing Director of the Anambra Broadcasting Service (ABS) Dr. Uche Nworah, who confirmed the incident in a post on Tuesday, February 6, 2024, said it happened in Amawbia, in Awka South Local Government Area of the state.
According to the post, the suspect, who is a nursing mother, has agreed to open a fixed deposit of N500,000 with the victim as beneficiary. Failure to do so will lead to her prosecution.
He added that the minor has been handed over to her mother.
Read his post below:
Yesterday at our meeting, we decided that:
1. Both the husband and the culprit will sign an undertaking with us, to wit, that they won’t take in any underaged house help.
2. That in lieu of court processes against her, considering that we have agreed to take into cognizance the fact that she is breastfeeding, and that none of her family members is in support of her, but are grateful to us, that she should open a fixed deposit of N2m with the victim as the beneficiary, which she will access on turning 18. Failing to do this, we shall start her prosecution. Eventually we settled for the sum of N500,000. By next week Saturday we shall effect it. We eventually had a meeting with the DPO to have these ratified.
3. The husband also accepted to train the victim henceforth to the university.
So, by next week Saturday we shall meet again to sign the undertaking and have the evidence of the Fixed deposit.
Our National Legal Advicer, Barrister SYZ Orlando advised that whatever agreement must be done in the law court. But after much deliberation during our yesterday’s meeting, we settled with the above position, while keeping the later as an alternative means of action.
