A viral video has shown a seven-year-old girl chased out by her madam at midnight over a missing ₦500.

The child, carrying a “Ghana must go” bag, was found on the road by a good Samaritan, who offered to take her back. On reaching the compound, the madam was shocked to see the girl return and asked the visitor, “who are you?”

She immediately grabbed the bag and slapped the child, shouting, “so this girl, where is my N500 I asked you to go and buy something for me. Where is my money.”

Explaining, the madam said the girl lost the money. In anger, she added, “if you don’t provide the N500, I will kill you. I will send you back to your father.”

The good Samaritan kept pleading as the video ended. The clip has since sparked outrage online, with many condemning the harsh treatment of the child.

Shegzeblog wrote: “I would have wanted the government to jail this woman but for the sake of the little baby. Who can suggest another rigorous punishment that she deserve cos I’m so sure the husband is not aware of this madness.”

Temitope wrote: “This one should be reported to the appropriate authorities. How will you subject a kid to this unnecessary truma, there are many offences to charge her with.

“Using an under age person for the work of a maid which is like slavery. Refusing to provide care and shelter to the underage person in your house thereby exposing her to armed and risk of kidnapping and others. A very wicked fellow that must do jail.”
