The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) has filed a one-count charge against the accused, Binta Aminu
A 25-year-old woman, Happiness Dauda, has narrated how she almost died after she was allegedly brutally beaten and locked up in a toilet on May 13 by her 36-year-old employer, Binta Aminu, who had accused her of stealing her mobile phone., Ms Dauda said she was beaten with a mopping stick, an electric cable, and a wooden spoon by Ms Aminu. She said her employer then locked her up in the toilet for six days without food.
Ms Aminu employed her on a monthly salary of N14, 000 and they agreed that the money would be kept by the employer to accumulate until Miss Dauda asked for it. “When I insisted that I did not take the phone, she picked up a mopping stick and started beating me with it. “She used the object to hit my legs, vowing to leave an indelible mark on my body. When she was tired, she locked me up in the toilet and went out.
“She seized my phone, made a video of herself calling me names and refused paying me for the three months I had worked,” Miss Dauda said. A relative of Miss Dauda, David Dogo, who stayed with her at the hospital, told PREMIUM TIMES that for almost a month that she was on admission, Miss Dauda could not leave her bed.
