Good day all,
Sorry to disturb you all but i need your advice on something, i wouldn't want an act of kindness go wrong.
This morning my landlords house help knocked at my door, and when i came out i saw her crying and i asked what was the problem, and she said she needs help to go back to her village somewhere in benue state, when i asked why, she said her madam was maltreating her. And then i asked if she had any relation here she could talk to, to come carry her away, and she said no!! She said she called her brother who told her to get money anywhere and come back (That i perceived to be a lie). I really want to help out but would want to do it in the Right way, so i told her to report the matter to the police station on her way to school and if the advice her on what to do then i can help in that case. Please i need advice on the best way to handle this without getting any issues out of if. She should be around 13-15 year. Thanks

Think carefully about what u are about to do, so u don't buy another's person wahala in ur life

Get her brother’s number from her and confirm what she said.

This is the issue. Most house help are so wicked, ungrateful to their masters. I don't believe the house help.

She should tell her masters she wants to return back to the village than to runaway without their consent. What if she gets kidnapped and killed when she runs way?

The masters will now be blamed!

Tread carefully. Let her report the matter to the police.
Except you are ready for trouble with your landlord

Thank you so much, would do that

I pray your landlord get to know that you are the one that advice her to report to the Police.

Its a dicey situation.I have done such in the past and successfully executed it.I had already made my findings.

If you are sure she's telling the truth, take her to the police or search for the contact of NAPTIP in your state and let them take it up from there.They will protect ur identity.

To those who keep discouraging this guy,Igbo's have a proverb "An elder can't be a round while the mother goat suffers while giving birth". So many children are being abused as caregivers/helps out of circumstances and greed of their parents.

If we keep looking the other way or let me mind my business,perpetrators go on .

You are a very foolish person! Sorry to say that!

Could be her toaster from around.If it was her brother he or a family member would have rallied to get money to come get his sister.

Then again poverty can do alot.No shishi on them.

You see? You just post ni o people don dey fight dey trade blow, just jejely face front and mind your business or u wan make devil dance skelewu ontop your head.

@Op; you have done the right thing for telling her to report the issue at the police station.

Since she really wants to go back home; with the involvement of the police, all that needs to happen will be for her employer to make the necessary arrangment and send her back home since she doesn't want to work with them any longer due to the maltreatment she is receiving from them.

You shouldn't be the one to call her brother as you can't be sure if that is really her brother. Let the police make the call to her brother as they can confirm if that is her brother or not.

How do you confirm if the person is actually her brother or not? careful brother, better to report at the nearest police station.

This is the type of mindset a lot of you naija women have that makes you keep maltreating other women's children left in your care.

Tomorrow you'll go around complaining about how one man is treating you bad, then seriously expect sensible people to pity you when you don't have pity for little children.

He could turn out to be her love-vendor.

How do you know she hasn't already told them to send her back?

How do you know for a fact that the gal's story is not true in this case?

What if she gets killed or kidnapped when she runs away? So you would rather she sit and continue to endure the hell she is supposedly running from, this because she could be killed or kidnapped if she runs away?

If you can, please go with her to the police station or NapTip so she can get the help she needs in investigating her case and getting her the help she needs. She is , according to you, a child, and would benefit from an adult helping her in getting her case registered and on it's way to being resolved.

If it turns out to be false alarm, then it is OK since all you end up doing is the right thing. She is a human being as a citizen of that country and so has the right to have the authorities hande whatever her case is.

I suggest you link her up with NAPTIP. Visit their website https://www.naptip.gov.ng/ and get the contact of your state office.

Thats why i cannot believe the girls story just like that. Someone has to testify.

Someone like whom will have to testify? And don't tell me you expect her Master to tell you the truth of his treatment of the gal?

You all but discouraged the OP from getting the girl any help, suggesting her story is not be considered at all. But now you posit you will only believe what the police say of the case.
