The Lagos State Commissioner of Police Imohimi Edgal, early today led operatives of the command to rescue 13-years-old girl Nkechi Oseh, at No 30, Adeniran Ajao Estate Anthony. The CP went to the residence after he got an information from a reliable source that Nkech's employer, Ms Betty Ifeoma, who is a staff of NNPC Lagos state office, was in the habit of locking her up for weeks anytime she is traveling within or outside the country leaving her with only 2 packets of cabin biscuit.
After she was rescued, Nkechi, said she is an orphan and whenever her boss travels and locks her in, she resorts to drinking water from the toilet whenever she is thirsty.
It was observed that Nkechi had been subjected to series of domestic attacks as scars were seen all over her body. She told the commissioner of police that she has been locked up at four different times since her uncle brought her from Igboju in Delta state.
Account to Nkechi said, " I have been locked up for two weeks, one- week, three weeks when she traveled to London and since she traveled on Saturday I have been crying before God helped me today."
During the rescue operation, empty packet of biscuits and container of eaten food which was passed through the burglary proof for Nkechi to eat was discovered on the floor. Nkechi is currently under the care of child protection unit of the ministry of youth and social development Lagos state.
Investigation is still going on.
