A man allegedly impregnated a minor then gave her a drugged drink to induce abortion, which almost caused her to lose her life.
Activist Israel Joe shared a video of the pregnant 16-year-old girl in hospital, narrating how the 22-year-old man responsible for her pregnancy gave her a drink which she took and then lost consciousness.
Israel Joe alleged that the man responsible was initially arrested but later released with the help of his father.
The activist called on authorities to do the right thing and arrest the man again.
Israel Joe shared the video of the girl speaking from her hospital bed and wrote:
“Dear DPO Jesse, Delta State Command,
“I am writing to bring to your notice this case of 16 years old girl, impregnated by a boy of 22 years old.
“While we disparage the character of the young girl having to get involved and entangled with an adult male at an early age, we also would want this said boy to be taken into custody as well. Sleeping with an underage girl should be discouraged holistically.
“The said boy was arrested by the youths and handed over to the police (your division). It was alleged that the father of the boy brought a lawyer and a chief Magistrate to get him out immediately and the father of the girl had to cry out to human rights activists of De Advocates to help him out of the brutal injustice.
“This said boy, fully aware that he has impregnated his 16 years old girlfriend, chose to drug her drink in order to get rid of the pregnancy. The moment he deceived the girl to an undisclosed location and drugged this girl, she passed out only to be seen on the road. She was rushed by good Samaritans to the hospital and revived now a little stable to tell her story.
“For the records, the pregnancy wasn’t affected by the drug this wicked human being called Mine had put on the fanta drink. This boy should be rearrested immediately and made to face his the full weight of the law. The police are there to deliver justice to everyone irrespective of their social status.”
