A woman residing in the Wuse II area of Abuja with her husband, Mrs Binta M. K, has physically assaulted her maid and left her battling for life in a hospital over a missing mobile phone.
Happiness Dauda is the name of the maid, she is 26 years old. She was beaten and injured by her Madam, as if that was not enough, she was locked up in the toilet for six days with no food and water.
According to her relative, Happiness survived the six days in toilet by drinking her own urine.
Happiness also said that she knows nothing about the missing phone, that her madam's brother was always coming to the house not until the day her madam started looking for the phone. She added that her boss kept on beating her, hitting her with wire, mopping stick and mortar pestle, not until she became unconscious.
The woman threatened to kill her with a witch doctor and later forced her to confess stealing the phone under duress. After assaulting the helpless girl, she threw her into the toilet and locked her for six days.
According to the maid, who just regained consciousness after she passed out for a few days, her madam used mopping stick, wire and mortar pestle to beat her. She thereafter locked her up inside a toilet for six days without food and water. She disclosed that she survived the six days eating faeces and drinking her urine. She also added that, her madam brought her out from the toilet on the sixth day and asked her to leave her house. She dumped her on the road side with N1000 to return to wherever she came from.
According to one of Happiness's relatives, she was later rushed to the Hospital at Wise for immediate treatment. The incident was also reported to the Nigerian Police and NAPTIP for further intervention.
Since then, Mrs Binta and her husband has become invisible as no one knows their whereabout.
According to David Dogo, a close relative to Happiness, he was approached by a close person to Mrs Binta's family appealing that the case be dropped, and that they are ready to compensate Happiness Dauda.
Its really a sad thing to note how maid's have become punching backs for Madam(s). What if the helpless girl died in the toilet. How will you lock someone in the toilet for six days without food and water? This is the highest level of wickedness. They deserve to be brought to book.
