Jonathan orders police to investigate case of pregnant factory worker beaten by Lebanese boss I have a strong feeling Alice will get justice soon. This can never be tolerated. And all companies paying below Nigeria's minimum wage should be investigated too. Alice was earning a meager N12k a month, and lost her baby on top of it? We need to find this woman.

Share to Twitter Share to Facebook Graphic photos: Househelp forcefully delivers 6-month old baby A very scary event took place recently at Utak Street, off Nkemba Street, in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. Three months ago, a busy working class single mum employed a 17 year old girl to help take care of her 2 year old daughter. Recently, while the lady was engrossed with a TV programme, her daughter needed attention and she called the help more than three times and the help kept responding that she was in the toilet. When it became unnecessarily too long, she tiptoed into the help's room and opened the toilet door. To her horror, she met the help squatting with blood all over the bathroom with a stillborn newly delivered baby hanging in-between her legs. She screamed and ran out of her apartment into the street. The entire neighbourhood came out and it took the intervention of neighbours to calm her down. The neighbours also helped rushed the help to the hospital. While in the hospital, she refused treatment and claimed she drank herbs and was given some to insert in her vagina to force the baby out. The help said she was warned not to allow orthodox medical treatment. When asked, the help explained that the pregnancy was six months old. Her employer said she didn't know she was pregnant as she is a very slim girl and she thought that the small protruding tommy was just an evidence of good living with her. She was smart in discharge of her duties, so there was nothing to suspect. The help was sent parking afterward. Pictures of the stillborn when you continue. *viewer discretion advised* Read more » Posted by Linda Ikeji at 4:36 PM 39 comments Email This BlogThis!

According to a shocking report by National Daily Newspaper, a 7-month pregnant factory worker was beaten so badly by her Lebanese boss that she lost her baby. Workers in a Lagos based packaging and printing company, Toppan Packaging Company Limited located on Ladipo Oluwole in Ikeja Industrial Estate could not believe what they witnessed on Friday the 13th December 2013.
