The police division are battling
to unravel the mystery surrounding the death of a 20-year-old girl, who died
four days after she was employed as a maid by a couple at Mafoluku area of
Oshodi, Lagos.
The maid, identified as Josephine Naarop, a native of Plateau State, was employed on April 2 to assist her employers (names withheld) to take care of their household chores, including a set of twins delivered less than three months ago.
The maid, identified as Josephine Naarop, a native of Plateau State, was employed on April 2 to assist her employers (names withheld) to take care of their household chores, including a set of twins delivered less than three months ago.
It was gathered that prior
to her employment, her employers informed her relatives, John Gwelding and Mark
that they would subject Josephine to series of medical test to determine if she
was medically fit for the job.
At the end of the tests,
which were carried out on April 5, she was discovered to be HIV and Hepatitis
negative, but was discovered pregnant.
Josephine’s employers
called on her relatives to notify them of the development and that they could
no longer allow her to work with them. It was learned that the next day, at
about 2p.m., one of her relatives, identified as Mr. Luka King, came to take
her back, since they no longer had need of her services.
When Luka got to the
residence of the employers, he reportedly found Josephine rolling on the floor
of the sitting room, writhing in pains and vomiting. He called the attention of
her madam, who was at home and they rushed her to a nearby hospital. It was
gathered that when they got to the hospital, Josephine was not admitted as the
doctor on duty discovered that she was already dead, so he advised them to take
her remains to the mortuary, which they did.
Must have overworked herself.
