A 26-year-old domestic worker, Ubong Etu
Nbomang, has injured his spinal cord while peeping
at his female boss while she was having her bath.
He has been hospitalised at the Federal Medical
Centre, Asaba, Delta State, after falling and
breaking his spine. His boss is a top federal civil servant in one of the
neighbouring states.
The houseboy was alleged to
have made holes around the bathroom door,
through which he peeped at his boss whenever
she was having a shower. Our correspondent learnt that Nbomang had
climbed on a platform to have a vantage view of
his boss who is in her 30s. A female friend to Nbomang’s boss, was said to
have walked in and met nobody in the sitting room.
On hearing the sound of dropping water, she
approached her friend’s bathroom out of
curiosity, only to find the young man peeping. The boss’s friend, (name withheld), who spoke to
our correspondent after the incident, said as
Nbomang was peeping, he held his private organ.
The guest, who trades in cooking utensils at the
Ogbeogonogo Modern Market, said she shouted at
him: “Nbomang, are you peeping at your
madam?” Nbomang, jumped off where he was and slipped on
the wet tiled floor when he heard the visitor’s
voice.
The unsuspecting boss, who was shocked by her
worker’s groans, was said to have rushed out of
the bathroom half-Unclad. Her friend, while speaking to our correspondent,
said,
“I said to her: ‘So, you are not aware he
has been here watching you as you were busy
having your bath? I met him peeping, after asking
for who was in the house without any response.
I have been here for more than 15 minutes now without him knowing.”’ As she was telling her friend all these, Nbomang,
still groaning in pains, asked his boss to forgive him
and take him to hospital.
“Out of pity, the madam called her driver to take
Nbomang to a hospital, while she later joined them
at the hospital,” her friend added. Speaking with our correspondent at the FMC, the
boss, who spoke to our correspondent on condition
of anonymity, said she was going to sack him.
She said, “Before now, I used to see him looking
at me but I didn’t think otherwise because I saw
it as nothing. It was when he was confessing that I
got to know that he was the one that bore tiny
holes on my door, which until this incident I never
knew of.”
Nbomang, who also spoke to our correspondent
from his hospital bed, pleaded, “Help me beg my
madam, na devil work. Na my madam beauty
deceive me.” Authorities of the hospital told our correspondent
that the injury could be treated.
