Housemaid locked up for six weeks over boss’ death

Life for 23-year-old Oluchi Obi in the last three months has been one tough journey of suffering.

Obi, an Imo State indigene, just wanted to make a living as a housemaid when she got lucky and got a job through an agent in Ajah area of Lagos.

“All I needed to do was to take care of the household and the man’s three children,” she said.

Obi’s boss, 47-year-old Frank Ikoh, was said to be ill at the time while his siblings were also on hand to take care of him in the house.

They said they just needed the housemaid to take care of the children and other chores in the house.

But that seemingly simple job would later land Obi in detention for 39 days on accusation that she had murdered her boss with a poisoned apple barely one month after she got to the house.
