Housemaid Abducts Her Bosses Two Children

According to Punch, a housemaid abducts her bosses two children, she is identified simply as Juliet.

The 24-year-old housemaid was said to have fled home with the kids –Rafael (3), and 15-month-old Michael on Sunday evening after their parents went out. The boss,Onajite reportedly secured the service of the housemaid last Tuesday through the sale portal,OLX, that posted a number on the website for anyone interested in a “humble” housemaid to apply ─ an advertisement to which Onajite responded.

The children were allegedly kidnapped after the grand mum and nurse went to bed.

According to The Paradigm, Onajite said, “After we came back from the church, the children looked tired and I told Juliet to take Michael to bed while I went to do my hair. He had not slept when I came back. That day (Sunday) was my husband’s birthday and we decided to have a couple’s outing. We told her to take the children to bed immediately because they were very tired. “We got back home at 9pm. It was Abigail, the nurse, that opened the door for us. When we entered, everywhere was quiet and that was when my husband became suspicious because usually, our children would have run from upstairs to say welcome.

We cannot stress enough the importance of vetting and doing a background check of every staff that is hired into your homes especially when they are to care for your children. They are strangers and if not carefully selected bring more harm than good to the home and the family that they are supposed to care for. Let’s be wary of these ‘strangers’ we open our homes to all in the name of domestic-helps. Many of us engage them based on face value and the stories they might have told you about themselves while being interviewed, which are not always true. We must all embrace background check as a minimum must do, confirm their addresses, confirm a real guarantor and cross check with their past employer.

We join the family in praying that Rafael and Michael would be found safe and sound and returned home to their family.
