Actress Iheme Nancy is demanding justice for a little girl, Mary Victor Okon, who was allegedly physically assaulted by her guardian after she refused to have sex with him.
Mary said she was brought to live with a family in Lagos by her Uncle and was promised to be paid N10, 000 a month. She said she hasn't received her salary since she moved in with the family.
Posting photos of the victim with injuries on her body, Nancy wrote
''This happened this morning at Badore where we are currently filming., this house girl from Calabar was brutally beaten up by the man of the house because she refused to have sex with him...
We have arrested him but don’t want him to go free from this atrocity..
Let’s help her get justice Tag anyone that will help save her and reunite her with her parents , because she is a result of child trafficking.''
Nancy got angry after she was accused of using the victim to chase clout on social media. Responding to the negative comments, Nancy wrote
''How can one be saying I’m clout chasing with a case as sensitive as this ...
I’m a woman, I can’t stand and see my little sister like this heaven knows that head will roll... I don’t know her From anywhere but I was touched when I saw what A so called guardian did to someone’s daughter were is your conscience ? If your daughter or sister is brutally beaten like this because of her refusal to have sex a beast ..
tell me how will you feel?? If you come to tell me rubbish I swear on Gaaaaaaaaaaaad I will rubbish you''
In a video posted on her page, the victim recounted how her guardian allegedly sexually harassed her
''One day he said that I should come and sleep with him and I refused. He said that if I have sex with him, he would give me N10, 000 to use to buy something I would need and I said no that my mother would no and he said if your mother knows, she would not do anything. I said no that I am a virgin and I don't want somebody to disvirgin me and that I have to finish my secondary school.'
Funny enough, this act happens every day and every time. Lots of underage girls don't have the gut to speak out or say no to their madam's husband when ever he makes a move. Some get raped every now and then.
Unfortunately, some women are accessories to this abuse to. They know what their husband does, but they will rather look away than stand up for the little girl or speak against the act.
