Texas couple is accused of holding a Nigerian nanny captive for two years without pay

A Texas couple is accused of holding a Nigerian nanny against her will for over two years while they forced her to work without pay and abused her.

Chubby and Sandra Nsobundu, who are also Nigerian, were arrested on Monday in Houston.

The nanny, who has not been identified, claims she was forced to work from 5:30 a.m. to 1 a.m. every day. She was made to clean, cook, and care for the children, according to Click 2 Houston.

The nanny also alleges the family did not allow her to eat fresh food and that she was only allowed to eat leftovers from the family’s meals. The family initially promised her a $100 per month salary which she says they never gave her.

If she wanted milk for her tea, the nanny said she would have to strain milk from the children’s cereal bowls.

The employee said she was severely abused in the home and was once even dragged down the hallway by her hair.
