An 18-year-old apprentice has allegedly impregnated 10 girls in just five months, including his master’s daughter and a salesgirl in Anambra State.
The Anambra state commissioner for women and social welfare, Ify Obinabo who disclosed this said he was first sent to learn a trade under a master, but within three months, he got both his boss’s daughter and a salesgirl pregnant.
This, however, led to his dismissal from the apprenticeship
He then returned to his village, where he impregnated eight more girls.
Obinabo called on the public for advice on how to address the issue, questioning whether the boy’s behaviour is a spiritual matter.
She said, “I want advice from the public because this one is beyond my capacity.
“This boy was sent to learn a trade at the age of 18 and three months of apprenticeship, and he impregnated his master’s daughter and his salesgirl. He was sent packing. Two months after that, he impregnated eight other girls in the village. This matter is beyond me, the reason I want the public to help me come up with a solution. Is it spiritual?”
The boy’s mother reportedly sought help from Obinabo, expressing worry about the situation.
According to her, the mother said, “‘Anytime I see a girl coming towards our house nowadays, my heart would jump, please, I need help.’”
The boy allegedly told Obinabo that he convinces the girls by telling them he loves them and plans to marry them once he acquires wealth.
“I asked the boy what he uses in luring the girls to bed, but he told me he always tells them that he loves them and would like to marry them any time he acquires wealth.
“This problem is beyond me because of the boy’s age and the number of pregnant girls involved; that’s why I need help to solve it”, she added
