Man Impregnates His Four Daughters

The Lagos State Government has said that it is keeping four infants born by schoolgirls impregnated by their fathers in its custody.

The decision, according to the state government, is to allow the girls “come of age” before they decide whether to keep the babies.

A popular daily reports that the Director of Child Development, Lagos State Ministry of Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Mrs Alaba Fadairo, speaking recently at an event said,
“ I have four children who were impregnated by their fathers and they have put to bed. We have kept the babies apart until the girls are old enough to decide if they want to keep their babies or not.

One fundamental thing we have discovered is that people close to children constitute a major percentage of those who abuse children,’’ she said.

She added that six cases of child abuse are reported to the ministry every week.

“Abusers are very friendly with children. When someone starts giving you sweets and taking you to solitary places, he or she may be an abuser. Whoever tells you not to tell your parents about him or her is an abuser.  It could be an uncle or aunty. Run away or shout,’’ she advised.
