Abia Hotel Owner Brutalises Female Employee, Nearly Blinds Her Eye After Breaching Employment AgreementNarrating her ordeal to SaharaReporters amid tears, Josephine, a student of Abia State College of Health Sciences and Management Technology in the state, said she had worked for Mr. Okoro at the newly opened hotel for two months when the incident occurred.

She further narrated:"On Saturday, the 29th of July, he came to the hotel around 5 p.m. when we had finished both compound cleaning and the rooms. "I then told him to pay me off, that I would not work for him again but he said that I should wait until he paid others their salaries. I accepted and went and sat at the reception.

"He said that if I wanted, I should die, that he didn't care about it and that nothing would happen. Then the chef met him and told him that what happened to me was big and that he wanted to take me to hospital. They took me to one maternity hospital around that place but the lady there didn't do much for me."Till morning, none of them returned to the hospital and the woman refused to give me further treatment. I left there and went back to the hotel but I didn't see him.

When contacted by SaharaReporters, Mr. Okoro said Josephine was fond of harassing guests in the hotel, asking them if they urinated on the beds. "On Thursday, before the Saturday night incident, there was another female guest in our room and the bed was soaked because the guest had complained that the air conditioner in the room was not functioning well.

"On Saturday, I came to the hotel and saw Josephine sitting in the bar fiddling with her phone while the environment was dirty. And the chef's room I asked them to clean and wash its bedsheets was left undone. I told her to do the cleaning. "I told her it was already the 29th of the month, and that when paying other staff members at the end of the month, I would pay her and she said no problem."
