Texas-based Nigerian Couple Arrested For Turning Their Nigerian Nanny Into A Slave

image image Chudy Nsobundu, 56, and his wife, 50-year-old Sandra Nsobundu, a Houston-area couple, face charges of forced labor, withholding documents, conspiracy to harbor an illegal alien and visa fraud. According to  the criminal complaint, the couple never paid the 38-year-old Nigerian, the $100 monthly salary they’d agreed to compensate her before she left Lagos in 2013, to work for them. They also allegedly forced her to work daily from 5:30am until 1am, making her responsible for cleaning, cooking and caring for the couple’s five kids and nicknamed her “the idiot.” She was allegedly forced to sleep on the floor and only eat whatever food was left over from previously prepared meals; if she wanted milk, she’d have to strain it out of the children’s cereal bowls. She wasn’t allowed to watch TV, use warm water to bathe or communicate with her family. Sandra Nsobundu is also accused of dragging the victim by the hair and hitting her across her face because she didn’t like the socks the victim put on one of the children. She was rescued on October 10, 2015 after someone submitted a tip to the National Human Trafficking Resource Center. If convicted on all charges, the couple faces as many as 60 years in prison and up to a $250,000 fine.

About Faith Irabor 1045 Articles
Welcome on board!!! Faith Irabor is just like your everyday girl next door with strong survival instincts. Am an International Journalist, Events planner and Blogger whose media journey dates back to June 2002 as a TV presenter with the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) Ile-Ife Osun State while I was having my National Diploma in Mass Communication. I left NTA in 2005 to pursue my B.SC in Mass Communication at the Olabisi Onabanjo University OOU Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State and finished in 2008 before joining one of Nigeria's best investigative Tabloids (National Enquirer Magazine & www.enquirermag.blogspot.com). I am very privileged to be trained by one of the industry's bests, my boss and mentor Mr. Tunde Moshood Jr, the former Editor of the defunct Fame Magazine, Publisher of National Enquirer and president Miss Global Nigeria who taught me everything I know in Journalism especially the investigative aspect which is the fulfilment of being a member of the Fourth Estate of Realm (as we journalists are usually officially addressed). My desire to take my journalism practice beyond the Newspaper & Magazine came from the passion I have derived over the years from investigative journalism as Online Media is the best platform to tell a story or news the very minute it’s at your disposal without wasting time. I promise to serve you nothing but exclusive and interesting news, interviews, events, articles from around the world and please feel free to email me on faith.irabor@faithirabor.com on spotted errors as well as ideas that would make me do better as there is no perfect being anywhere except God.
