An 18-year-old boy in Anambra State has reportedly impregnated 10 girls in five months, including his boss’s daughter and a salesgirl.
The shocking news was shared by the state Commissioner for Women and Social Welfare, Ify Obinabo, during a live social media session on Wednesday.
Obinabo said the young man was sent to learn a trade under a master, but just three months into the apprenticeship, he got his boss’s daughter and their salesgirl pregnant.
“He was sent to learn a trade at the age of 18. After just three months, he impregnated his master’s daughter and the salesgirl. He was then sent away,” Obinabo said.
She added that things got worse after the boy returned to his village, where he went on to impregnate eight more girls.
“This matter is beyond me, that’s why I want advice from the public. Is it spiritual?” the commissioner asked.
Obinabo also revealed that the boy’s mother came to her office to seek help. She quoted the woman as saying, “Anytime I see a girl coming towards our house nowadays, my heart would jump. Please, I need help.”
When asked how he managed to convince the girls, the boy reportedly told Obinabo that he always promises love and marriage.
“I asked the boy what magic he uses. He said he just tells the girls he loves them and wants to marry them when he becomes rich,” she said.
Obinabo did not mention the boy’s name, his mother’s name, or the name of their village. However, she called on the public to help find a lasting solution to the problem.
“This issue is serious, considering the boy’s age and the number of girls involved,” she said.
