Glory Deborah
The Lagos Police has taken into custody a 40-year-old woman, Mrs. Deborah Gabriel for her bestiality. She tortured her child housemaid, Glory Ugbon and then put pepper in the her eyes and private part. The child’s offence was “stealing” a plate of rice to quench her hunger.
Glory, from Akwa Ibom State, has lived five months with the trader in slavery, somewhere in the Surulere area. And according to neighbours the girl has been brutalised many times, with marks all over her body.“Madam said she would put me in school and my sister told me that she would treat me well. The woman is not related to us. I work at home all the time but sometimes when she is not happy with me, she beats me till I cannot walk” she said.
However, on Sunday co-tenants of Deborah took action to prevent the woman from killing the girl when they saw that she had taken the torture of the girl to a higher level
They alerted child rights activists, who promptly notified the police.
Editor’s Note:
Nigeria has earned over $700b from oil export alone since independence. But the money is in few hands due to failed and corrupt leadership. If the country’s wealth had been used to serve the people, a Nigerian child would not have any need to go into slavery. Glory is part of hundreds of thousands of child slaves in Nigeria. Victims of the legendary greed of predator-leaders.
