Manama: A Saudi woman is offering a SR50,000 (Dh48,927 or about $13,322) reward to anyone who can provide information leading to the arrest of a Filipina domestic helper.
The worker reportedly absconded with her lover after trying to poison a family in the capital Riyadh.
The Saudi woman, Noha Al Jamahdi, also took the unusual step of posting copies of the worker’s passport and work permit on a Facebook page to help with her arrest, local news site Ajil reported on Monday.
In her comment, Al Jamahdi said the helper tried to poison her neighbour’s family in Riyadh and that she ran away with her lover.
She added that whoever could help the police in Riyadh or in the Red Sea city of Jeddah would be offered SR50,000.
Online comments advised the Saudi woman to report the case to the police who would be able to locate and arrest the helper thanks to their capabilities.
One commenter said he would be able to locate the helper, but he wanted to make sure that the cash reward was not a bogus incentive.
However, Al Jamahdi insisted that the financial offer was genuine.
“The report is true and there should be no doubt about it. I assume full responsibility for everything in it. The case has been reported to the airports. It is clear that someone has taken her from the house and that she did not abscond on her own initiative,” she said.
