Anambra State Ministry of Women and Children’s Welfare has rescued a 13-year-old girl who recently delivered a baby reportedly fathered by her guardian.
The minor said she was impregnated by her guardian, whom she identified simply as Mr. Sunday, a resident of Awka, the state capital.
The news of her delivery broke out on social media over the weekend after she was detained in hospital over inability to pay her hospital bill.
This led a team from the state ministry for women and children’s welfare to search for her. She was rescued and taken to a safe place.
In an interview, the girl, who hails from Akwa Ibom, while her biological parents stay in Agulu, Anambra State, said she was not the only one involved in Mr. Sunday’s knack for defiling children.
“Mr. Sunday’s wife is known as Madam Ghana. This started when Madam Ghana traveled to the village. I’m not the only one involved. There is another girl who is seven years old, Mr. Sunday used to sleep with her too,” she said.
“I once told Madam Ghana about it, and she cautioned her husband, but when it continued, I could not do much any longer.”
