Nwabisi, 23, from Adani, Uzo-Uwani L.G.A of Enugu State was thoroughly
tortured, tied with ropes and dumped inside a room in his master’s house
for about ten days without food or water. Serving as an apprentice to
an auto -parts dealer in Ladipo, Lagos, popularly called Elopee, he had
signed an agreement to serve the man for seven years, and had already
served five years before the ugly incident.
According
to him, he was accused of not reconciling their sale’s book properly
resulting in the loss of N4,000. "I was abandoned inside the kitchen for
about three days until I noticed that somebody slipped a plate of food
through an opening to me. Hungrily, I ate the food. I was defecating and
urinating inside the same place until seven days later when the pains
became unbearable. I then started crying and raising my voice, calling
for help. It was then that I knew that the small girl living with us, a
relation of my master’s wife, was also left in the house and she was the
person that slipped food into the kitchen for me".
This
torture of the boy aroused the anger of their neighbours who promptly
alerted policemen on patrol from Ayobo division and they swiftly
responded.
The
police broke into the premise and quickly rescued the poor boy and
while searching the house, they saw a female teenager who claimed to be a
relation to the wife of his master and they took all of them to their
station for questioning.
It
was gathered that after Policemen broke into the house, they found the
female teenager in the parlour. She led them to the kitchen where they
saw the boy, tied like a goat with splashes of his urine and excreta all
over the room.
The
divisional Police officer, Musa Lariski reportedly directed his men to
quickly rush the boy to the nearest hospital where he was giving proper
medical attention beofore he was brought back to the station. It was
learnt that since then, all efforts made by detectives to trace the
owner of the house and his wife yielded negative results. A team of
policemen were also said to have gone to his shop at Ladipo market only
to discover that he had not shown his face since the the boy was rescued
from his house.
