A 19-year-old maid known as Blessing had scalding water poured on her by her bosses’ wife on allegations that she was sleeping with her boss. She only narrowly escaped death.
A resident who saw the maid’s scalded skin reported the case at the Isheri Oshun police division, and the wife, Mrs Isioma Ezeofor and the husband Mr Chifozie Ezeofor whom the maid alleged had tried to have anal sex with her on several occasions were subsequently arrested.
Blessing painfully described that her stay with her employers at 26 Aunty Toyin street, Kodeibo Estate, Ijegun Road, Isheri Oshun, had been atrocious, stating that she had on several occasion suffered extreme abuse from them.
During interrogation, the victim revealed “I was brought from the village by a woman six months ago, to come and live with my madam and her husband. I am not on salary, they only promised that they would take me to school. I am in Junior Secondary School 3.”
Vanguard sources inferred that Blessing, an Imo state born victim started living with the Ejiofors six months ago.
