Man arrested for impregnating 12- year –old girl in Warri
A 44-year old man, Edafiake Augustine, a father of
five, has been arrested by the men of the ‘B’
Division, Warri, of the Delta state police command
for allegedly impregnating a 12-year -old girl.
The expectant mother (names withheld), a
primary four pupil, after being taken through a
pregnancy test, which confirmed her to be 32
weeks pregnant, confessed to her family that she
had been lured by their neighbour, Edafiake, into
sexual act.
The Nation gathered the girl’s stepmother was the
first to notice the changes in her body
development as well as some new behavioural
patterns that could suggest pregnancy in her.
Her father, who also started paying attention to
his wife’s observations, took the pregnant girl for
a pregnancy test and found out that his daughter
had been pregnant for three months.
When sounded out by her family, the girl told her
family that their neighbour, Augustine, had been
taking advantage of her, seizing moments when
her step-mother was out to lure her into bed,
adding that her abuser had been giving her
between N1,000 and N1,500 each time he slept
with her, warning her not to tell her parents.
Although he denied ever having sex with the girl
when confronted by her family, he seemed to
have opened up to his own relatives, who had
reached out to the pregnant girl’s family to plead
for settlement.
Corroborating the allegation against Augustine,
his wife, in her statement, had alleged that she
had been suspicious of a foul play between her
husband and the adolescent.
Meanwhile, the family of the pregnant girl, it was
gathered, would either have Augustine marry
their daughter, paying the full bride price,
according to Urhobo tradition, or be made to face
legal action.
When The Nation visited the ‘B’ Division on Friday,
the accused was still being held in custody, with
police authorities insisting that he would be
prosecuted.
