An 18-year-old apprentice in Anambra State has allegedly impregnated ten girls within just five months — a shocking situation that includes his master’s daughter and a salesgirl at the shop where he was working.
According to the Anambra State Commissioner for Women and Social Welfare, Ify Obinabo, the young man was sent to learn a trade but ended up being dismissed only three months in, after it was discovered that he had impregnated both his boss’s daughter and a female staff member.
Things took an even more troubling turn after his return to the village. Obinabo revealed during a live video broadcast on Wednesday that, in just two more months, the teenager had impregnated an additional eight girls.
“This boy was sent to learn a trade at the age of 18. Within three months, he got his master’s daughter and a salesgirl pregnant. He was sent packing. Then two months later, eight more girls in his village fell pregnant for him,” Obinabo said.
The situation became so alarming that the boy’s mother reportedly approached the Ministry for help.
Quoting the mother, Obinabo said, “She told me, ‘Anytime I see a girl walking towards our house now, my heart skips. Please, I need help.’”
The Commissioner, clearly overwhelmed, appealed to the public for advice, saying the case may even have spiritual implications.
“This is beyond my capacity. I asked him how he convinces all these girls, and he said he tells them he loves them and wants to marry them once he makes money,” Obinabo explained.
She did not disclose the identity of the boy, his mother, or their community but emphasized the need for urgent public input to address what she described as an “unprecedented situation.”
