The minor who is identified as Emmanuella Monday cried for help after escaping from the man who her mother allegedly gave her to.
Emmanuela who spoke after her escape accused her biological mother of contracting her to unnamed and unknown men who had sex with her. She is reportedly in Senior Secondary School 2 at Triumphant School, Effurun, in Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State.
In a video that has emerged, she disclosed specifically how her mother took her to a hotel on Sunday, October 20 to meet a man. According to her, her mother left immediately after dropping her off.
Emmanuella said, “My mother has been taking me to men. And last Sunday, after church, she took me to meet a man in a hotel. She left and said that she was coming back. She did not come back till the evening, and left me there.”
Emmanuella told PUNCH Metro that her mother took her to one Beeland Hotel at Orhuworun Road, Udu Local Government Area of Delta State “to meet an Aboki man and said she was coming back, and till it was late, she didn’t return.”
The girl informed PUNCH Metro that she however “managed to escape from the hotel room, when the Aboki man went to have a bath.”
But she deposed that she consequently became infuriated and refused to go back to the house.
She added, “So, on getting out of the hotel room, I did not go to the house again. I managed to find my way to a friend’s house and stayed with that family overnight. On Monday morning, I went to school and reported the matter to my teacher. And my teacher said she was going to do something about the matter.”
Emmanuella added, “This is not the first time my mother is taking me out to go and meet different men. And she is always concerned about me and marriage.”
Emmanuella’s mother, Mrs. Eunice Asulie told The Punch Metro when contacted over the phone that her daughter has been missing from home adding that she had been looking for her.
She said, “My daughter, Emmanuella, has been missing for days and I have been searching for her everywhere and could not find her. I don’t know her whereabouts. I am looking for her.”
Speaking further, the mother stated that she had reported the matter to the police at the division close to them and the police were also searching for her.
The proprietress of Triumphant Schools, Mrs Magareth Oghuvwu, explained how Emmanuella got to school on Monday amidst sobs, narrating her ordeals in the hands of her own mother who, she said, wanted to force her into prostitution.
