Two innocent Nigerian housemaids killed in Saudi Arabia by their employers. (photos)

A labour solidarity group has reported the story of two Nigerian housemaids killed in Saudi Arabia by their employers.

It was gathered that the alleged murder of the two young women occurred within a space of two weeks in their respective homes where they worked as servants by their Saudi bosses.

According to Satellite Times, the first Nigerian girl to be murdered was by name Omotayo who until her death in June 2018 worked as a migrant domestic worker in Riyadh.

She reportedly sent the photo above to her friends in a group chat called “Strong Nigerian Ladies” – a solidarity group created by Nigerian migrant domestic workers in Saudi Arabia.

Omotayo, in her June post which happened to be her last, narrated to the solidarity group her latest incident of inhumane treatment she received  in the hands of the Saudi family she worked for in the Arab country. 

Her boss and the entire family had descended on her for being disrespectful to them. But her only offence was that she insisted her three-month salary arrears be paid to her.

She had put her foot down saying she would no longer accept excuses for the non-payment of her salaries just as she said she was tired of eating leftover food. Her action was seen as an affront.
