Ali Hussein, a Lebanese working in Lagos state, south western Nigeria has reportedly impregnated his 17-year-old maid and asked her to abort it.
The teenager, identified as Rhoda Timothy worked for Hussein (a professional chef) and earned about N10,000 monthly, a pay which she was really grateful for.
However, trouble started for Miss Rhoda, just some days after she started working with the Lebanese as he forcefully had a carnal knowledge of the lady and impregnated her in the process.
Below is the lady’s narration as reported by Vanguard:
“I started working with the man as a maid immediately I came to Lagos. He agreed to pay me N10,000 monthly as my salary. When I packed into the house, my boss was not around but he came back two days later from his work place.
“On this particular day, my boss was about to leave the house when his brother asked me to go and meet him and collect some money to purchase food items for the house. I knocked on his door, he answered and asked me to come inside.
“When I entered, I told him that his brother asked me to collect money to purchase food items. He said okay and got up from where he was sitting, and pretended as if he wanted to get the money before he grabbed me forcefully. I struggled with him and was shouting but he over powered me and raped me.
“The following month when I discovered that I had missed my monthly circle, I informed him about it but instead of finding solution to it, he raped me a second time. I then kept disturbing him about the growing pregnancy. What he did was to send me to a nearby chemist with a prescription but the attendant refused to attend to me without his presence.
“He later went with me and bought some drugs which he asked me to take to abort the pregnancy. I took the drugs but nothing happened. After some days, he bought another set of drugs which I took, yet, nothing happened. I then became very worried and was disturbing him to find a solution to the problem he caused.
“That was when he started threatening me and later sacked me after paying me N19,000. I was so afraid that when I went back to my brother who brought me to Lagos, I didn’t tell him that I was pregnant for my boss. I was just praying that the pregnancy will just disappear but it did not.
“Unknown to my brother that I was pregnant, he got me another job where I worked for four months as a maid before my new employer discovered that I was pregnant and told my brother.”
While narrating the saddening ordeal, Rhoda’s brother, identified as Joshua, told Vanguard what he knows about the incident:
He said: “It was January this year that we discovered she was pregnant. Her stomach was still flat and we had to take her for scan. It was then she revealed that her former boss,Hussein, was responsible for her pregnancy. So, we went to Hussein’s house to confront him but he denied being responsible for the pregnancy. We therefore reported the case to the Immigration Department in Ikeja and on February 9, 2016, he was arrested but was later released.
“From immigration department, my sister was taken to the National Agency For The Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, NAPTIP. Initially, officials of NAPTIP said she would be with them until she delivers but last week, officials of the agency came and asked me to come and take my sister back as she will soon deliver.
“The pressure and threats from NAPTIP became too much to the extent that I don’t know whether they are protecting the interest of my sister who was abused by a foreigner or that of the foreigner”.
“Joshua lamented the atrocities perpetrated by some expatriates resident in Nigeria, saying “ these atrocities continue unabated because the government and relevant authorities ignore the plight of helpless victims who are at their mercy.”
Hussein was said to be absent from his Ikeja house when efforts were made to see him for clarification, but a lady in the house promised to inform him about the visit.
One Mr Hassan who claimed to be Hussein’s nephew, said his sister informed him of the visit to his residence the previous day, adding that whatever happened between his brother and Rhoda was a mistake and that they were doing everything to reach a compromise since the accused has agreed to take care of the teenager until she gives birth.
He stated, however, that they have to be sure of the child’s paternity as a DNA would be carried out on the infant, adding: “We are doing everything to ensure she delivers safely.”
When Vanguard visited the Ikeja zonal office of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), the director was reportedly out of town on official assignment, and a lady who posed as the public relations officer of the agency would not say anything, stating that only her boss was authorised to speak on the matter.
She was said to have collected phone numbers of the visiting party with a promise of calling to inform them of the latest development by the agency, but she had yet to make any contact with them as at press time.
