A Ghanaian woman identified as Jacqueline has cautioned her fellow Ghanaians working with Ethiopians to be extra careful in dealing with their employers.

According to Jacqueline, she was assaulted by her employer after a girl living with them in a house blamed her for failing to put ice cream meant for quests back into the fridge, causing the desert to defrost.

In a video seen on social media, Jacqueline explains her employer mentioned he was expecting some visitors, hence, went out to buy ice cream for them to take after meals.

''I finished working and became famished, so I went to get meat from the fridge to prepare something for myself. The girl came to ask why I didn't put the ice cream back into the fridge, but I told her I wasn't responsible for it,'' said Jacqueline.

She continued:

''I don't know what she told my employer. I was working when he came and held me and hit my face with something.''

Jacqueline indicated that she recorded the video to address the concerns of people asking about what had happened to her.
