A Nigerian man has recounted the tale of a harrowing ordeal a young lady went through in the hands of her employer after she was accused of theft.
The man known as Igala Alan Shore took to Twitter to disclose that the lady (name withheld) was accused of stealing a phone and in punishing her, she was beaten and locked by in the toilet for 6 days by her employer.
According to Igala, the lady was locked up in the toilet without food and water after being brutalized.
He further revealed that due to hydration and hunger, the lady had to resort to drinking water from the toilet and eat her own faeces for survival.
Igala added that after the 6th day, the lady was given N1000 to take care of herself.
He wrote;
“Please who can introduce me to a senior official in NAPTIP who can ensure someone gets justice? A young lady was accused of stealing her employer’s phone, beaten badly then locked up in a toilet for 6 days without food & water. She had to drink water from the toilet to survive
She had to eat her own faeces & drink water from the toilet to survive. On the 7th day she was abandoned by a road side & given N1000. Her wounds are currently infected and gangrenous.
Her family have reported to @PoliceNG officials who are treating the matter with levity.
They reported to NAPTIP 2 weeks ago. NAPTIP officials have only visited the hospital today to take her statement because my office has become involved. I’m mad to my bones and I want to take this as far as it can go.
UPDATE: @naptipnigeria official, Mr Marcus, is refusing to attending to this matter with seriousness. He’s lied to us that the couple were arrested, when in truth they weren’t. He’s aggressive for no reason. Obviously been compromised.
UPDATE: @segalink has gotten me a contact @PoliceNG. A petition will be submitted tomorrow morning.
UPDATE: @NhrcTweets has contacted me as well. I have been told an official will contact me shortly.”
