Nigerian housemaid shares ordeal in pastor's home
According to her, working as a house help in a pastor’s home was one of the most difficult periods of her life. She explained that Sunday was the only day she was allowed in the sitting room to watch movies, as the family would usually be away at church.
She recalled a moment when she was allegedly threatened after she mistakenly left the front door open. In her words:
“She told me that if anything happened to her child—even if she saw just one mosquito bite mark on the child’s body—she would throw me from upstairs to downstairs.”
She also claimed that the pastor’s wife boasted that if her actions resulted in a court case, she would use her money to settle it, and if that was not enough, she would have her father handle it with his own money.

Not disclosing the identity of the pastor and his family, the housemaid further claimed that the reason she had remained silent for so long was because of the fear that had gripped her heart.

In her words:
"She’s not capping; mine was even my elder sister, same mother, same father, but I would have preferred a stranger and na deeper life pastor wife ooh."
