The state’s Commissioner for Women’s Affairs and Social Welfare, Ify Obinabo, shared the situation on Facebook and in a live video, saying the case is too overwhelming for her to handle alone and she’s asking the public for advice.
According to her, the boy had been sent to learn a trade under a businessman, but within three months, he impregnated both his boss’s daughter and a salesgirl.
The boy was sent back to his village. Not long after, he reportedly impregnated eight more girls.
Obinabo said the boy’s mother came to her office seeking help, saying she now lives in fear every time a girl approaches their home.
With the boy’s young age and the number of girls involved, the commissioner said she is calling on the public to help find a solution to the issue.
Speaking in a live vide, Obinabo said: “I want advice from the public because this one is beyond my capacity.
“This boy was sent to learn trade at the age of 18 and, three months into the apprenticeship, he impregnated his oga’s daughter and his salesgirl. He was sent packing. Two months after that, he impregnated eight others in the village.
“The mother reported the matter to my office, saying anytime she sees a girl coming towards her house nowadays, her heart would jump, and that she needs help.
“This matter is beyond me; that’s the reason I want the public to help me come up with a solution. Is it spiritual?
“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 will like to marry them anytime 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 concluded.
