Princess said Favour is not only being maltreated but was denied access to communicating with her family.
Princess' message read:
"I met a girl yesterday in Port Harcourt, her name is Favour Chinecherem Echezulam from Imo state, Ikeduru LGA. Her aunty poured pepper water on her with strokes of cane all over her body.
"They even refused her to travel to the village on Christmas to see her parents and they refused her to speak with her family. When I ask her, she said they don't allow her to follow them to church. My dear, you can see the rags as cloth she's putting on. You people should help me post her so that any of her relatives can find her and take her back."
Favour corroborates Princess' claims
In a video also made available to Briefly News, Favour confirmed being maltreated.
Narrating the most recent inhumane treatment meted to her, Favour said it happened that the aunt and the family had gone to church, leaving her to do the chores.
The Imo citizen said she cleaned all the rooms and was left with her aunt's and the toilet when she fell asleep. Her sleep was interrupted by the aunt, who had returned to find her not done with the chores.
Favour said the aunt inquired why she was sleeping and was ordered to lie flat upon responding that it was because she felt tired. According to Favour, who broke down in tears while narrating the incident, her aunt tied her hands.
