Drama at JKIA as Woman Rescued from Saudi Arabia Attacks Her Agent for 'Selling' Her

Drama ensued at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on Thursday after a Kenyan woman who was rescued from Saudi Arabia attacked her agent.

Nelly Chelagat had just landed from the Gulf state when she spotted her agent at the airport and aggressively confronted her, accusing her of ‘selling’ her in Saudi Arabia.

“Why are you here after you sold me in Saudi Arabia, did you want me to die?” Chelagat is heard yelling in a video shared on social media.

Chelagat roughed up the woman before she was quickly restrained by those around her, with police officers intervening to calm her down.

In the video, she thanked Kenyans who shared her woes on social media, leading to her rescue from Saudi Arabia where she says she was subjected to ill-treatment, including being denied food by her employer.

“I had called the embassy several times but no action was taken until Kenyans persuaded them to take action,” she said.

The agent had reportedly gone to the airport in the company of a representative from the Association of Skilled Migrant Agencies of Kenya (ASMAK) to receive Chelagat and stand with her family.

“I went to Saudi Arabia and came back, this was one of the cases I was handling. As a representative of ASMAK alongside the agent that took Nelly to Saudi Arabia, we are here to stand with the family,” the ASMAK official said.

    And WHY do you Damsel EVEs Keep on FALLING for this KILLER Fruit in the GARDEN of Eden (Saudi Arabia)? No matter How many Times GOD and His Messengers have WARNED You of these AGENCIES of Satan, you Don't listen! All you Want is the Hanging fruit!!!

    You wanted to go there and all she did was to help you fulfill your dream to get employment. She is not to blame. The blame is to our leaders who have not managed our economy properly to create jobs for our youth. Their main concern is to enrich themselves by indulging in corruption.

    Alot of abuse going on in Saudi Arabia, but everyone is trying to blame those who took the jobs.
    No one should be abused. No one. These agents have benefitted alot from taking these women and men there. More work needs to be done so that no one is abused.
    These agencies know of abuse and do not keep in touch with the workers.

    Surely these agents deserve more than a beating.There are there shopping in Dubai with money earned from the sweat degradation and humiliation of their fellow Kenyans .They are just glorified pimps and deserve to be in prison not walking around ati representing the employees.How do you reason with a slave trader
