Child Labour: Young Girl Made To Wash Truck Everyday

When child labour is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is hitting a child in a bad way but that is not all, making a young girl to do menial jobs meant for two grown-ups is also child labour.
A  young girl single-handedly washing  a huge truck every day can be considered child labour. Linda Ikeji reports that an eyewitness who lives at Kings Avenue, Ben Mill Road, Ojodu Berger, Lagos, revealed that her neighbor makes a young girl that  lives with them, who is about 12-15 years of age to wash their big truck at night or in the morning daily.

Although passers-by and many other residents of the area see this act as gross, complaining about it but no one has been able to help the situation. The girl who manages to do the daily routine as other vehicles use the road, might also be endangering her life. The anonymous neighbor is however asking necessary authorities to look into this issue as it is unbecoming.
See some of the pictures from Linda ikeji’s report:
