It was gathered that he began his apprenticeship under a master, but within three months, he managed to get both his boss’s daughter and a salesgirl pregnant.
As a result, he was dismissed from the apprenticeship program.
However, the State Commissioner for Women and Social Welfare, Ify Obinabo, shared this information during a live video on social media on Wednesday.
Obinabo who spoke in the Ibo language noted that the situation deteriorated further after he returned to his village.
She said, “I want advice from the public because this one is beyond my capacity.
“This boy was sent to learn a trade at the age of 18 and three months of apprenticeship, and he impregnated his master’s daughter and his salesgirl. He was sent packing. Two months after that, he impregnated eight other girls in the village.”
Obinabo also said the boy’s mother came to her office to report the issue.
According to Obinabo, the mother said, “‘Anytime I see a girl coming towards our house nowadays, my heart would jump, please, I need help.’”
In respond, Obinabo declared, “This matter is beyond me, the reason I want the public to help me come up with a solution. Is it spiritual?”
She said she asked the boy how he was able to convince the girls.
“I asked the boy the magic he uses in luring the girls to bed, but he told me he always tells them that he loves them and would like to marry them any time he acquires wealth.
“This problem is beyond me because of the boy’s age and the number of pregnant girls involved; that’s why I need help to solve it.”
Obinabo did not reveal the names of the boy, his mother, or their community, but she urged the public to propose solutions.
