In barely five months, an 18-year-old apprentice is accused of impregnating ten girls, including a salesgirl in Anambra State and the daughter of his master.
He was initially sent to learn a craft under a master, according to reports, but three months later he became pregnant by a salesgirl and his boss’s daughter.
But as a result, he was fired from the apprenticeship.
This was revealed in a live social media broadcast on Wednesday by Ify Obinabo, the state commissioner for women and social welfare.
According to Obinabo, after he went back to his village, things became worse.
“I need public advice because I’m not capable of handling this one,” she stated.
After completing a three-month apprenticeship and being assigned to learn a trade at the age of 18, this kid impregnated both his salesgirl and his master’s daughter. He was dismissed. He impregnated eight more girls in the hamlet two months later.
Obinabo also said the boy’s mother came to her office to report the issue.
According to her, the mother said, “‘Anytime I see a girl coming towards our house nowadays, my heart would jump, please, I need help.’”
Obinabo said, “This matter is beyond me, the reason I want the public to help me come up with a solution. Is it spiritual?”
She said she asked the boy how he was able to convince the girls.
“I asked the boy the magic 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.”
Obinabo did not mention the name of the boy, his mother, or their community, but she called on the public to suggest solutions.
