How 40-Year-Old Employer Drugged And Raped 14-Year-Old Maid In Lagos

Lagos State police have arrested a married man identified simply as Nathaniel who resides in Ajisegiri Street, Egbe area of Lagos state, for allegedly drugging and raping his 14-year-old housemaid. The victim, who is an orphan, had been brought from a village in the south eastern part of Nigeria to work in Nathaniel’s house.

According to PUNCH, Nathaniel was arrested by the Ikotun Police Division on Sunday.

It was gathered that the suspect allegedly lured the housemaid, Chinwe (not the real name), with a cup of juice penultimate Monday, which contained a sedative. The two were reportedly alone in the apartment on that day.

It was said that when she woke up, she found that she was naked and found semen in her private parts.

After the incident, Chinwe fled the house, dropping a letter for the suspect’s wife to inform her about her ordeal.

“Dear aunty, I want to go. I am suffering here. Look at what your husband has been doing to me. The last time that he did it, he gave me a drink and I did not know that he purposely gave me that drink so that I could fall asleep.

It was when I woke up that I now found myself naked. I now saw white thing on my laps. This is what he was doing to me the other time that I told you that I wanted to go. I do not want to cause trouble for you. Please, call my brother to come and take me away. I want to go and I do not want to stay here again,” she wrote.

It was learnt that the teenager also confided in a neighbour, who is a pastor in the area. The pastor was said to have informed a child rights’ organization, which in turn reported at a police station.

A source with the Child Protection Network, where the pastor reported the case, said,

“The man is over 40 years old. He employed the victim as a domestic help.
