A woman has chased away her seven-year-old house help at midnight over a missing N500.
In a viral video on social media, a seven-year-old girl was found by a good Samaritan who was just passing by. The girl was standing with a “Ghana must go” bag containing her clothes and other belongings.
The lady who had approached the girl was surprised to see such a young child with a bag standing on the road at that ungodly hour.
The good Samaritan offered to take her back to her aunty, who had sent her away from the house.
On reaching the gate, the woman knocked and the gateman opened. She asked to see the madam, who later responded and ordered the visitor to come in.
As they entered the tiled compound, the madam was surprised to see the child coming in with a stranger and asked the woman, “who are you?”
Why the woman chased the girl away
The madam explained that she had seen the child on the road and decided to bring her in.
She went straight to the child, dragged the bag from her and slapped her, saying, “so this girl, where is my N500 I asked you to go and buy something for me. Where is my money.”
While shouting at the girl, the madam was told to calm down; the madam then explained that she had given the little girl N500 to help her buy something, but the child had lost the money.
Expressing her anger, the madam said, “if you don’t provide the N500, I will kill you. I will send you back to your father.”
At this point the good Samaritan kept pleading with her as the video ended abruptly.
Reactions to the video
Reactions to the video have flooded social media, with many users expressing shock at the sight of such a young child being treated so harshly.

Shegzeblog wrote: “I would have wanted the government to jail this woman but for the sake of the little baby. Who can suggest another rigorous punishment that she deserve cos I’m so sure the husband is not aware of this madness.”
Temitope wrote: “This one should be reported to the appropriate authorities. How will you subject a kid to this unnecessary truma, there are many offences to charge her with.
“Using an under age person for the work of a maid which is like slavery. Refusing to provide care and shelter to the underage person in your house thereby exposing her to armed and risk of kidnapping and others. A very wicked fellow that must do jail.”
Friday wrote: “And she’s carrying her own precious baby in her arms and chasing another away because of 500 naira. This woman doesn’t not represent a good Igbo woman! She should be ashamed of herself”.
