My mother-in-law seduced me to impregnate her * He always
invited me to watch pornographic films - Mother-in-law
By
Idowu Adelusi
If Mr Tiamiyu Ibrahim, a
45-year-old mechanic, had been part of the Nigerian contigent to the just
concluded London 2012 Olympics, he, probably, would have won a medal for Nigeria. The
only snag is that his field of specialisation, 'bedminton' was not part of the
sporting activities listed for the tournament. IDOWU ADELUSI, in this piece,
reports the story of a man who put his mother-in-law in a family way.
MRS Aminat Ibrahim's story
appears fictitious, but it is not. The claim of the 40-year-old trader that her
husband is the father of a four-month-old baby girl born by her mother leaves
one wondering whether Aminat knows the weight of her claim or not.
Mrs Ibrahim said she was
ashamed and rattled by the development, adding that her unrepentant mother had
threatened to curse her for exposing her misdeed.
Narrating how love affair
developed between her mother and the husband, Mrs Ibrahim said her mother, who
lived in a village at Apomu Area of Osun
State, had been visiting them
regularly at Oje Area of Ibadan
where they (couple) lived.
She continued, "being
my mother, I had no cause to worry, moreso, when she told me that she was
assisting me spiritually to become pregnant.
"I wedded my husband
five years ago without issue. Sometime in February last year, my mother came to
visit us and said she would stay with us for a while.
"I objected since I
was not nursing a baby, but she insisted and said was worried about our
childlessness and wanted to help us get over it. When I told my husband he was
glad about my mother's concern.
"Being a trader, I
always leave home most times at 6.00 a.m for neighbouring towns and villages to
buy yam tubers or vegetables and then bring them to the market to sell. I
always leave the market at 7 p.m.
"My husband is a
mechanic. He has his workshop at a place not far from our house. This enabled
him to always come home in the afternoon for lunch often prepared by my mother.
"After a while, my
husband would tell me jokingly that my mother's soup was delicious than the
soup I prepared.
"I did not suspect
that anything was going on between them. After all, I trusted my husband,
besides the woman in question is my mum and not a friend.
"In December last
year, I noticed that my mother's belly was protruding.When I demanded to know
if she was pregnant, she said yes. She told me further that her man-friend in
the village impregnated her, adding that she used to go to the village when
everybody in the house had gone out. Our father died long ago.
"I advised her to look
for accommodation elsewhere but she refused. After exerting much pressure on
her to leave our house, she confessed that my husband impregnated her.
"I was dazed and
almost passed out. She told me that my husband ignited the love affairs.
According to the mother,
whenever she (the mother) was in the bathroom, the husband would jump in to see
her nakedness, pretending to be unaware that she was in the bathroom.
Explaining further, the
mother said, "each time he came home for lunch, he would play pornographic
films, inviting me to join him in the sitting room to watch it.
Mrs Ibrahim added,
"According to my mum, while the film was going on, my husband would come
to where she was sitting and grabbed her. Even after she had freed herself from
him and run to stay in the kitchen, my husband would still go to meet her and
that was how he started having sex with her.
"My mother told me
that she agreed to his demand since it was just to satisfy him and protect my
marriage. Moreso, she never thought she could get pregnant again at 57 years.
"My mother explained
further that my husband stopped going to work on Saturdays in order to stay
with her at home. She told me that four attempts were made to terminate the
foetus because she was ashamed but each attempt was unsucceesful.
The woman told Sunday
Tribune that when she confronted her husband on the issue, the husband told her
to take it easy because she was still childless.
Her word: "My husband
told me that it was my mother who seduced him by always staying naked in the
room knowing that he could come into the room anytime since they are living in
a room and palour apartment.
"He told me not to
bother him much on the matter since I don't have any child for him."
When asked if the "new
couple" were still staying together, she said no, explaining that they had
disappeared from the house and did not know where they were.
However, this reporter and
a staff of Succour traced Mr Tiamiyu Ibrahim to a village in Ikire.
He blamed everything on
satan, saying that he never believed his mother-in-law could become pregnant
for him.
His words, "Iya yen lo
fa mi mora, to ni ki nma ba a oun tage. Emi ko mo pe o lee j'asi oyun, mo ro
wipe iya ti koja eni to tun le ni oyun ni."
(It was my mother-in-law
who seduced me, I never knew she could become pregnant again, but thought she
had reached her menopause.)
The wife said she was
disappointed by her husband's behaviour, saying, "if he had told me he
needed a second wife, I would not refuse him. Why should he be having love
affairs with my own mother?" she asked.
Sunday Tribune gathered
that the mother-in-law, who later gave birth to a baby girl, brought the baby
to Ibadan a
month ago.
She was said to have been
reviled by neighbours for bringing shame on her daughter and destroying her
home.
The mother-in-law could not
be reached as everybody contacted said her whereabouts were unknown.
Nigerian Tribune
Incest: "Yes, I slept with my daughter but didn't impregnate her"
By ALBERT AKPOR
DESCRIBE it with whatever
adjective; incest, abomination, absurdity etc, one thing is clear: for a father
to conceive in whatever guise, strip her daughter naked and sleep with her, the
same daughter who is a product of his semen is nothing short of insanity.
In fact, this man (points
at him) is a goat. I think if there is anywhere worse than hell, not the
Nigerian prisons, that is where this man deserves to go." remarked an
unnamed angry woman police Sergeant.
Staring into space as if
lost in thought while betraying emotions, Mr. Peter Okeke a 60 year old Orlu,
Imo state born security guard portrayed a vivid picture of the biblical
defenceless lamb led to the slaughter; as policemen, women and even visitors to
the command rained curses on him for his abominable deed which on the long run
claimed the life of his eighteen year old daughter, Adaobi.
All he could do at the
commencement of this interview was beg for forgiveness. "I want everybody,
even government to forgive me. I know what I have done is bad, but to err is
human and to forgive, divine. She was my daughter and I loved her until her
death. I did not know what came over me the first day I slept with her. I think
it was alcohol." he lamented.
Investigation revealed that
Mr. Okeke the father of six, first had canal knowledge of her daughter when she
was 13 and had been sleeping with her until late last year when the girl became
pregnant. However, in between time, Adaobi was said to have picked a boy friend
simply identified as Lucky and both of them were constantly seen together at
Oha village, a suburb along Sapele road Benin city,
the Edo state capital.
The lid was however, blown
open after Adaobi announced to her lover -boy that she was heavy with a baby
for him. This did not go down well with Lucky who was said to have recalled to
her girl friend that they never had it bare together; not even once since they
started dating.
To satisfy all
righteousness however, a blood test was conducted. And the result vindicated
Mr. Lucky and of course, left Adaobi with no other alternative than to confess
the reality to her mother who had at the time, abandoned her matrimonial home
for her Osu village for an unknown reason.
It was therefore, obvious
that Mr Peter Okeke was responsible for Miss Adaobi Okeke's pregnancy! The
abominable act was reported at his home town and Mr. Okeke was invited to
cleans the land but refused to appear before the elders of his community.
Nine months later, Adoabi
delivered a bouncing baby boy but died of jaundice shortly afterwards. Again,
Mr. Okeke compounded his sin by secretly burying the baby all alone without
consulting his kinsmen. Months after, Adaobi also fell ill and died. But an
attempt to have her secretly buried without informing anybody, not even neighbors
led to the invitation of detectives from the Homicide department of the Edo
state command.
Giving an insight to how he
committed the act, a sober looking Okeke said, "Look at me, do I look like
a criminal? The girl in question was my daughter and I loved her until her
death. I wanted her to go to school but she opted for hair -dressing. I am
ashamed of what happened.
Yes, I agreed I slept with
her when she was 13 and that was because their mother abandoned me . But I can
swear by any thing that I was not responsible for her pregnancy. Until her
death, she had a boy friend simply called Lucky, that boy is responsible for
her pregnancy. When she told me that she was pregnant I asked who was
responsible and she confessed to me that it was the same Lucky.
But since then, Lucky
stopped seeing her. Even when she put to bed, I invited him but he refused to
show up. I did the same when she died. It was like I was in a world of my own.
When the matter of my affair with her was reported in my village, I could not
go because I did not have enough money to travel.
slept with her when she was
13 and even that period I did not find it difficult penetrating her which means
she had been doing it. On that day, I took three bottles of beer and two shots
of local gin called Ogogoro. So when I came in, I just removed my clothes and
started f-king her. Adaobi was one of my six children until her death. I think
the police is angry because I wanted to secretly bury her not because I slept
with her. All I am pleading for is forgiveness; I am sorry."
What the law says
The offence of incest has
no clear cut definition in the Nigerian laws but falls under offences against
morality in the Criminal Code Act Cap 77, Laws of the federation of Nigeria 1990.
Section 214 of the criminal coded defines offences against morality as: (a) Any
person who has canal knowledge of any person against the order of nation, or
(b) has canal knowledge of animal, or (c) permits a male person to have canal
knowledge of him or her against the order of nature; is guilty of a felony and
is liable to imprisonment for fourteen years.
The term "against
order of nature" therefore, refers to either a father having sex with his
daughter, a mother have sex with her son, a sister having sex with her brother,
etc etc provided this is done to the extent of incongruity to the order of
nature.
In the case of Mr. Peter
Okeke apart from being guilty of having sex against order of nature, may also
be charged with rape, which under section 358 carries life imprisonment with or
without canning; because he was the first to forcefully have canal knowledge of
her daughter while at age 13.
Again, he may also be
charged under section 329 of the criminal code with concealment of birth and
secret disposition of the dead body as he admitted burying the dead baby
secretly all alone; which made him guilty of misdemeanor and liable to two
years imprisonment..
What psychologist says
A clinical psychologist
with the Psychiatric hospital, Yaba Lagos, Maymunah Kadiri says causes of
incest is multi-factorial. According to her, "First the mental and
psychological state of the person would have to be examined to determine
whether he showed any remorse for what he did.
Is he an alcoholic, is he
into substance use?, did he show any sign that what he did is spiritually and
culturally wrong? If he is an alcoholic, what was the degree of alcohol
consumed and what was his intent? that is; having ruled out any underlining
medical condition.
We shall also consider
whether he suffers from personality disorder, where is his wife? And then we
also consider psycho-social problem If his economic status is not good enough,
he might find solace in alcohol and of course, do things against the social
order. So like I said, incest could occur as a result of multi-factorial
problems."
Teacher found on top of female pupil in school toilet
By Tunde
Odesola, Osogbo
A 29-year-old Mathematics
and Social Studies graduate of a college of education, Mr. Seun Oyeleke, has
been caught pants down with a seven-year-old female pupil in a school toilet.
Oyeleke teaches at a
private nursery and primary school on Church
Street, Osogbo, Osun State.
One of the pupils' mother,
Mrs. A Ajiboye, had been informed by her son, who attends Oyeleke's tutorials
with her five-year-old sister, that the teacher was fond of taking the girl out
of the classroom to an unknown destination.
“I told my brother, who is
a policeman, and he urged me to be patient. My brother then devised a plan with
which we caught the teacher,” she said.
Ajiboye told her son that
whenever the teacher took her sister out, he should run home and inform her
immediately.
But on Saturday, Oyeleke
took another girl to the toilet on the school premises and the boy quickly
dashed home to inform her mother.
The mother rushed to the
school, where he found the teacher on a seven-year-old inside the toilet.
Narrating the incident to
PUNCH Metro on Tuesday, Ajiboye said, “When my children were leaving for the
tutorials on Saturday morning, I told my son to rush back home whenever the
teacher takes any girl to the toilet.
“At about 11:30am, my son
rushed in to inform me that he had taken another girl out, I quickly rushed to
the school, went to the toilet and forced the door open, I met him on top of
the little child.
“I was very furious and I
began to shout and wail. I called on neighbours to come and see what was
happening. He was subsequently taken to Dugbe Police Station in Osogbo.”
“He took me to the bathroom
in the building and removed my pant and lay on me and later asked me to wear my
pant back and return to the class,” the little girl said.
At the police station, the
teacher pleaded, “Please, spare me; I didn't know what came over me. The effect
of what I did just dawned on me. I did not rape them. I only had sex with them.
It's the devil's work.”
But the proprietress of the
school, Mrs. Amoke Alao, denied insinuations by neighbours that the teacher was
notorious for sleeping with minors.
Alao said Oyeleke was
perceived as a religious and diligent person and nobody suspected that he could
commit such a crime.
Explaining that her
children also attend the school, Alao said she would not have tolerated such a
crime if she knew Oyeleke was doing it.
The proprietress said she
was unaware of the tutorials organised by Oyeleke, saying that only one of the
two affected girls is a pupil of her school, while the other only attended
Oyeleke's tutorials.
Both girls were taken to
police clinic at Oke-Fia, Osogbo, where a medical officer attended to them.
The medical officer, who
chose to be anonymous, said the teacher did not penetrate the vaginas of the
girls, adding that his organ, however, had an impact on their pubic areas.
Police Public Relations
Officer in the state, Mr. Taiwo Olugbemileke, said the case would be
investigated since it had been reported to the police.
Man impregnates daughter
•When
I complained, he gave me some drugs to take – daughter
•Evil
forces are controlling me – father
By
Chioma Igbokwe
For
24 years of her life, Zina had believed that her father abandoned her, from
birth. When she could not live with the belief any longer, she persuaded her
mother to take her home. The older women obliged. Such a reunion, as would be
expected, is always emotional. And this one was. But it wasn’t for long. For
the father, the emotional encounter turned into amorous craving.
So,
the meeting, which was supposed to be a dream-come-true for the young lady,
turned out to be a curse of some abominable type. Shortly after his daughter
reunited with him, the father allegedly impregnated her. Zina, now 26 years
old, claims to have a ten-month old son whose father is no other person than
her own father (names withheld).
Zina
said that her father was the first man to have carnal knowledge of her and that
he usually hypnotized her anytime he wanted to make love.
She
narrated her story this way: “I demanded to know my father and also to stay
with him so that I could do something better with my life. I thought, when I
got to his place, he would fix me into a skilled job. My mother took me to his
house in Amuwo Odofin area of Lagos.
“But
when I got there, it was another thing altogether. It all started with his
over-monitoring nature. Anytime I went to my place of work, my father would
come and check if I was there or if any man came to visit me. I thought it was
just this fatherly protective measure for her daughter.
“Then,
one day, he gave me some concoction at night, saying it was for malaria. But
after I took it, I did not know where I was and, before I knew it, I slept off
and, when I woke up, I discovered I was naked and was bleeding”.
Asked
if she told anybody, Zina replied: “I did not tell anybody that first time
because he threatened to send me back to my mother if I did. He continued that
way until I became pregnant. Even when I was pregnant, I never knew. It started
from being dizzy and when I complained, he gave me some drugs to take, which
made my stomach rumble for days. When I could not bear the pain any longer, I
had to contact someone who in turn contacted my mother”.
On
arrival, her mother was said to have taken her to hospital where tests were
carried out on her and results showed she was six months pregnant. The
39-year-old mother of the girl, Rose Nwogugu, was devastated.
Zina
remained with her father in that state until she gave birth to a male child,
who has a striking resemblance with his grandfather. Lack of care for both the
nursing mother and her child reportedly prompted Nwogugu, mother of the incest
victim, to alert the police who, in turn, arrested the father.
“What
have I done to deserve all this?” Zina’s mother asked Saturday Sun
rhetorically. Information showed that the single mother had suffered several
misfortunes in life. First was the pregnancy that produced Zina, 26 years ago,
when she was barely 13 years. She was reportedly impregnated while in form two.
Then, the man responsible (Zina’s father) was a trader in Jos. The pregnancy
disrupted her education, as her furious parents refused giving her out in
marriage, on the grounds that she must finish her secondary education first.
Looking
back with regret, Nwogugu said: “This man (pointing to the father of her child)
has put me into so much trouble. Part of it is that I have not been able to
marry since then. He got me impregnated when I knew nothing about life. Even at
that , he never bothered to check his daughter. I reluctantly took my daughter
to him so that he could at least play his fatherly role. I never knew it would
turn out this way. I came to check her when I heard he was not taking care of her
only daughter for me to discover that my daughter had been impregnated by her
own father”.
On
why he decided to sleep with his daughter in the first place, the suspect
blamed it on spiritual forces beyond his control.
“If
I tell you it has got more to do with spiritual forces, you may not believe me.
But it is true. This spiritual thing is true. I was cursed by one of my uncles
without any fault of mine. He placed a curse on me that I will never do well in
life. Since then, anytime I have money at hand, it will just disappear. I have
been going from pillar to post all these years, struggling to make ends meet
but no way. Look at me, is it proper for a man my age to be unmarried? That is
what I am saying. This thing happening to me is not ordinary.”
On
why he chose his daughter instead of a female friend, he said: “I do not have a
girl friend. It all started when she started telling people that I am not her
father. When her mother brought her to me in 2009, I could not take care of her
because I was poor. I could not feed myself, let alone another person. It is
not that I never had plans for her but things were tight for me, that I had to
take her to my elder sister’s place. But she later brought her back saying my
daughter had some problems.
”I
then got a place at Mile 2 Park where she could be working in a restaurant.
While there, she kept telling people that I was not her father. Out of
annoyance, I took her away from there and got her another place, yet the case
was the same. At a point I begged her to stop denying me before the world but
she would not stop. Then I withdrew her from there and made her stay at home
with me for four months before I took her to learn fashion designing where she
repeated same thing”
Asked
how he got his daughter’s consent in the atrocious act, he said, “It happened
one night. I did not tell her anything. I only crept to her and started
fondling her. She did not put up any resistance; so I had carnal knowledge of
her. This continued until her mother came to inform me she was pregnant. She
never told me she was pregnant. I could not also deny it because when the baby
was born he looked very much like me.
“I
did not hypnotize her as she claimed. The only concoction I gave to her was for
malaria because there are lots of mosquitoes where we lived and I did not want
her to suffer from malaria. Her claim that I am the first man in his life is
also a big lie. This is because she was not a virgin when I slept with her. I
am an adult and I know how it feels like with a virgin.”
Asked
whether he felt any remorse the first time he slept with his daughter, he shook
his head and said, “Remorse? No. There was nothing like that. It was just like
any other girl”.
On
what he wanted to do with the product of the pregnancy, he remained calm, refusing
to talk. Even when he was asked what the name of the child was, he directed
this reporter to her daughter.
Meanwhile,
10-month old Destiny (for that is the child’s name), clung to her mother,
crying and struggling to remove her blouse in an attempt to reach her breast.
Unknown to this child, an abominable incident capable of permanently
stigmatizing him, had occurred.
By Reuben Olita
Patrick Barasa, 51, was beaten by a snake in his Kiriko village home as he returned to his house after answering a call of nature in the nearby bush. He was rushed to Kocholia district hospital where he died seven hours later owing to lack of anti-snake venom serum, which is not available in most hospitals in Busia county.
There was a pandemonium as Father Joseph Dome of Kocholia Parish delivered a sermon when mourners abandoned him and dashed towards the grave where the snake had been spotted. The mourners killed the seven-inch snake and carried it to the astonished priest who looked perplexed by the bizarre incident. Villagers believe that the snake is the one that killed Barasa since it had no teeth.
Addressing mourners yesterday at St Mathew Catholic Church in Amagoro, Fr Dome asked Christians who keep snakes to invite him for special prayers before killing the "domestic animals". He stunned worshipers when he asked whoever is keeping snakes in Amagoro to raise up their hands but none did that although it is believed that some people keep snakes for ritual purposes.
Malaba South Ward Councillor, Fobian Isogol blamed the government on death of many people in rural areas for failing to availanti-snake bite drugs to health institutions. Area Chief, Ernest Otwani warned residents against claims that the snake that killed Barasa and which was later killed was kept by one of the villagers. A resident of Amagoro, Alfred Juma was two times lucky when he was bitten by a snake in a spate of four months. He was a victim of the same serpent in October last year and survived. Last Friday the snake bit him again in his house and survived after he was treated at Kocholia District hospital.
'I'm more intimate with my monkeys than with my boyfriend'
On a close encounter with the Nigerian Tribune however, Miss Temitope Egbeyemi, who claimed to be a 26-year-old Public Administration student of The Polytechnic, Ibadan, was seen holding a young monkey in her arms, clutching it to her bosom in a way that would make any man turn green with envy. An interview there and then ensued which drew out the love and passion she has for keeping monkeys and dogs as pets and the satisfaction and fulfillment she derives from doing such.
According to her, her love for pet-keeping dates back to some eight years ago when she acquired her first pet, a monkey which died some few years later. She said that her love for this particular animal stemmed from its friendliness and trustworthiness. "I was barely 18 years old when I bought my first pet which was a monkey. Ever since, my obsession with animals, specifically dogs and monkeys, has grown. Initially, my parents were not too enthusiastic and receptive to my idea of keeping monkeys which they saw as not typical of a growing lady.
"However, I see pets, particularly dogs and monkeys as the best friends a man can have. I therefore like keeping these species of animals as pets. Ever since my first acquisition at age 18, I have consistently been keeping dogs and monkeys as pets for over two years now. I bought Susan (the eight-month-old female monkeys she was holding in her arms) for N30, 000 from Jos. I have another one, a seven-month-old male monkey which I named Smith. I also have at home as pet a very beautiful dog", she said.
She further added that the cost of buying the monkeys notwithstanding, she would continue to keep and maintain them as her special pets because of their peculiar character traits which are similar to that of human beings. She noted that she was particularly attracted to the monkey specie because of how the nursing mothers among them attend to and dot on their babies. "The similarity is so striking; whenever you see the nursing mothers, you cannot help but notice the special attention they always give to their babies. You will see the nursing mothers painstakingly and carefully picking lice and other pests from the body of their babies and keeping them close to their bodies to give them warmth and also protect them. This love, I must confess, is one of the attractions I have for monkeys", she said enthusiastically.
When asked why the preference for monkeys, Temitope, who was doting on Susan like an infant, feeding her with fresh bananas, said that human aversion to monkeys notwithstanding, they are friendly animals and they should be loved and cared for. She, however, said that it would require understanding on the part of man for the animal to be accommodated. She declared: "Contrary to insinuations and some common beliefs about them, monkeys are indeed very friendly animals. While most of the people see them as carnivorous animals that should be avoided for fear of harming humans, they share some common traits with human beings. More often than not, they share some common traits with us, behaving like human beings most of the time."
Temitope is, however, taking her love and passion for monkeys to the extreme as the strange monkeys-lover revealed that her love for the animals is at a great cost. While most of the ladies of her age are getting married or, at least, enjoying some sort of steady relationship with the opposite sex, the reverse is her own case as the intimacy between her and her monkey is already straining her relationship with her boyfriend. More surprising and strangely enough, she did not see any big deal in this development as she disclosed to the Nigerian Tribune that she placed more importance and priority on her intimacy with her monkeys than with her boyfriend.
"Though currently I have a boyfriend the relationship is not cordial because of my closeness and intimacy with Susan and Smith. But I have no regret over this as I will prefer my monkeys anytime because of the intimacy between us. They are my friends and confidants and I am more particular about Susan. While Smith stays at home most of the time, I always go out with Susan. We are so close and most of the afternoons, if I am at home, we sleep together; she sleeps on my chest. Undoubtedly, the intimacy between us has been the cause of the frictions I have with my boyfriend as he could not understand why I am so close to her", she said.
She, however, went further to say that she had been struggling to put a rein to her close attachment to the two monkeys, trying had to stop or, at best, control the level of intimacy between them as she revealed that most members of her family and friends were beginning to form the opinion that she was not a normal girl and that was something queer about her. According to her, "the intimacy with my monkeys is also affecting the perception of members of my family and most of my friends about my person and my strange love for the animals. The thinking among them now is that I am not a normal girl and that there is more to my love for the two monkeys. They are beginning to see me as an abnormal girl whose love and passion for monkeys is strange and queer. Nigerian Tribune
A pregnant virgin?
By Ishola Balogun
