A Chinese couple are presently in police net in Abuja over their roles for allegedly locking up their Nigerians employees in their apartment for the past four months.

The workers, eight domestic workers in  were rescued by the personnel of the Utako Divisional Police Station on Tuesday following a tip-off by a resident, who reported the incident to the Human Rights radio station.

The police raided the residence of the Chinese in the Jabi area of Abuja and took the unidentified couple and their domestic employees to the station.

In footage provided by the International Centre for Investigative Reporting, the victims said they had been locked up in the apartment since February.

A lady, who did not give her name, said the domestic workers were not allowed to move out of the building and that the couple refused to allow her to go for treatment when she took ill.

She stated, “When I was seriously sick, I asked these people (Chinese employers) to open the gate for me, but they refused until I became very angry before they opened the door. I know my life may be at risk but I don’t mind, let the world know what is happening.

“They told us that if someone was going out, he could help buy something for us, but when this man (referring to a colleague) went out to buy sachet water, they deducted his salary. What do they want us to do?

“We had to stay in the room and talk to people through the windows. They didn’t give us food; apart from the salary, they didn’t give us anything; they even cut our salaries.”

The driver of the Chinese, who simply identified himself as Alex, said he and the seven others had been working against their will for the couple since the outbreak of COVID-19 in February.

Alex stated, “They never allowed us to go out since February; if any of us went out and they know, a certain percentage of the person’s salary would be deducted.

“Even on Monday when this man (pointing at one of his co-workers) sent someone to buy water, N500 was deducted from his salary that has yet to be paid.”

  58. Thanks for the interesting things you have disclosed in your post. One thing I would really like to touch upon is that FSBO interactions are built with time. By presenting yourself to owners the first saturday their FSBO is announced, before the masses start off calling on Monday, you develop a good association. By mailing them methods, educational materials, free reports, and forms, you become the ally. By subtracting a personal fascination with them and also their situation, you generate a solid network that, most of the time, pays off as soon as the owners decide to go with a realtor they know plus trust – preferably you.

  68. Interesting blog post. What I would like to bring up is that pc memory has to be purchased if the computer still can’t cope with everything you do by using it. One can set up two RAM boards of 1GB each, for instance, but not certainly one of 1GB and one of 2GB. One should check the manufacturer’s documentation for one’s PC to make sure what type of memory space is necessary.
