See Why Indian Employer Allegedly Assaulted Female Domestic Help In Lagos
An Indian man, Jay Keswani, has been nabbed by the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly assaulting his wife’s domestic help, Faith Nwaneri, in Banana Island, Ikoyi area of the state.
The brutal employer was apprehended on Tuesday after he allegedly evaded arrest about six weeks ago.
According to Punch, Faith was hit on the face on Friday, August 12 by him for coming late to work. It was learnt that Faith sustained a facial injury after which she reported the matter at the Ikoyi Police Division.
Policemen from the division had reportedly gone to the Island to arrest the Indian businessman, but were allegedly prevented from entering the area.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, confirmed the Indian’s arrest, adding that he would be charged to court at the end of investigation.
”The police arrested him on Tuesday. He was nabbed by the Adeniji Adele division. He was tracked to his house. When the suspect discovered that the police were on the lookout for him, he initially fled.
But when he thought the tension was down, he returned to his house and was arrested. The family support unit of the division is in charge of the case. The Indian has not confessed to the crime, but all the evidences before the police indicate that he assaulted the lady.
He will be charged to court.”
Speaking of the incident, Faith’s elder brother, Chukwuka, explained that her sister was late to work on that Friday, because the security men delayed to give her a pass.
”Keswani’s wife queried Faith for coming late, and she explained that she was delayed by the security men at the gate for lack of a pass. The Indian’s wife became angry and reported Faith to her husband.
There was an altercation and my sister was hit on the face; she began to bleed. She fell and became unconscious, but they thought she was pretending.
When she regained consciousness, she headed for a public hospital at Falomo, and also reported at the Ikoyi Police Station. The police at Ikoyi invited the Indian, but he did not show up,” he narrated.
The matter was also reported to the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team, Alausa.
Confirming the incident, the DSVRT Coordinator, Lola Vivour-Adeniyi said:
”The case was brought to our attention on September 14. It came to our knowledge that the case was first reported at the Ikoyi division, but the police at that level were unable to invite him.
The case was transferred to another police section on September 2, but the Indian did not appear to write his statement until September 7.
When the matter got to us, the DSVRT referred the case to the Adeniji Adele division. The Divisional Police Officer referred the case to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Yaba, and the Commissioner of Police directed that the matter be charged to court.”
A source at the Adeniji Adele division said the Indian, in his statement to the police, insisted that he was not guilty of the offence.

Can you imagine the idiot man mtschew. His wife should be arrested too. So they cannot forgive her even after begging? Na wa oh.
They should deal with him, they can’t come here and treat people the way they feel
I’m really disappointed at the Nigeria police.
As a foreigner, You can’t abuse an Indian in their country and misbehave or walkway with it…… there’s a probability that this case will die without any charge on the violent Indian man.. To the poorvictim, I wish youspeedy recovery. God is watching. ???????
can u imagine
I pity his wife and children because I’m sure they are getting their own doses of the punches
This bully should be prosecuted asap, you can’t try this anywhere outside this country.
