Oyinyen Chuks, 34, was on Tuesday charged at Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court in Lagos State with locking up her 14-year old housemaid in a toilet for 20 days.

Chuks, a trader, who resides at 19, Ojo St., Shasha, a suburb of Lagos, is facing a four-count charge bordering on assault

The prosecutor, Sgt. Raphael Donny, told the court that the offences were committed between May 2 and May 22 at the residence of the accused.

Donny said that the accused alleged that the housemaid stole her money and beat her mercilessly.

“The accused locked the girl inside her toilet, fed her once and didn’t allow her to take a bath or change her clothes for those weeks in bondage.

“It was one of the neighbours who could not bear the torment anymore that informed the police”, he said.

The prosecutor said that following the report, the police visited the house and found the girl in the condition.

“Hence, the accused was arrested while the girl was taken to the hospital for treatment”, Donny said.

The offences, he said, contravened Sections 171, 207, 245 and 285 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.

However, Chuks pleaded not guilty to the charges preferred against her.

The Chief Magistrate, Mrs Davies Abegunde, granted the accused N1million bail with two sureties in like sum.

Abegunde ordered the accused to pay N200,000 into the Court Registrar ‘s account as part of the bail conditions.

She adjourned the case until June 21 for mention.

OMG

20 days? people get mind sha

Some women be saying men who beat their wives are dogs but they go on maltreating their housemaids...



Nonsense...

mohince:
Nigeria's North, Biafra & Oduduwa.
While the Yoruba have craftly postioned themselves in all the key-points of the nation's economic command and control under the Change gov't of # Buhari in order to pave way for their total economic independence that will catapult silence political restructuring and final disengagement from the Colonial contraption that held the nation for over half a century, yet not unmindful of the probability of Presidential power being bequeathed to enable them achieve their
# Oduduwa Republic in the long run.
The Igbo are busy playing the victim of 1967 three years civil war they kick-started, they are now dessiminating the " # Biafra (n)" propagandic utopia of disengaging from the Federation through street protests and blackmail of other regions and threats while the # Arewa (North) are busy hailing and praising the Change gov't because Buhari hails from the North even though his economic policies are almost not North-friendly but anti-North policies inherited from OBJ and GEJ tenures, the two years of Buhari's gov't has given an economic dead-blow to the Arewa economy to the advantage of the South(West), yet the Northerners are suffering and smiling, braying the usual "sai baba" at the top of the vocal organs, from all indications, the merger is going to be a win-win to the SouthWest, with economy at their finger-tips and Presidency on their laps, read the silent drum and watch the dance rythme.

We Igbos are the most wicked people on earth.

It's the same way we started the civil war and murdered the Hausas, but when the Hausas sought revenge we started our wretched victim mentality

If women were to be given the kind of privilege they seek, this world would have ended by now.

Man's inhumanity to man.

God bless her neighbor

You mean we Igbos

Women Why?

I don't understand why Nigerian women treat housemaids as if they r rats. If her own child steals her money, would she discipline her the same way?
Housemaids in Nigeria r called names like witches, wicked girls etc by their madams but their own children r not simple because they r not living with someone else n their parents can afford their needs.
Rubbish!. Wicked n selfish women!

Time to pass a law that makes it illegal to employ people under 18 as househelps.



And if you must work as a househelp you must have a ND in home economics.....and must be at least 18.

I am not joking. This problem of underaged minors doing housework has got to stop.

I completely agree with you...
