An unsettling incident has sent shockwaves through social media after an employer allegedly threw her house help off the balcony of a two-storey building in Aba, Abia State, over an offence that has yet to be disclosed.
The horrifying event came to public attention through a viral Facebook post shared by a concerned individual, who detailed the location and circumstances surrounding the disturbing act. According to the post, the young house help was reportedly pushed from the second-floor balcony of a residential building situated at 204 Niger, directly opposite Newday Fast Food in the bustling city of Aba.
The user behind the post, who expressed deep outrage over the incident, passionately called for justice for the victim, who was reportedly thrown down by her employer after committing an undisclosed offence.
The post read: “She needs justice. She’s a house help. Her madam dropped her from the balcony of the 2nd floor of a 2-storey building… because she offended them. Imagine throwing her down! Please let’s make this trend and get her justice.”
The graphic nature of the incident has stirred widespread condemnation online, with social media users and human rights advocates rallying behind the call for the authorities to intervene swiftly and ensure the employer faces the full weight of the law.
While the nature of the offence committed by the house help remains unknown, many have argued that no mistake or wrongdoing warrants such an inhumane and life-threatening punishment. Calls have intensified for child protection agencies, law enforcement, and human rights groups to take up the matter and investigate the employer’s actions.
