18-yr-old apprentice impregnates 10 fellow apprentices including boss' daughter in 5 months.

 An 18-year-old apprentice trader had reportedly impregnated ten fellow female apprentices within the period of five months in Anambra State.

According to the Punch news, reports disclosed that the boy, whose name remained uncovered was sent to learn trade under his master(name not disclosed too) but instead of focusing on what he was there for, he chose to take turns on all the female apprentices, including the daughter of his boss and a salesgirl till they all got pregnant for him, leading to his immediate dismissal and arrest.

The state Commissioner for Women and Social Welfare, Ify Obinabo revealed this in a live video on social media on Wednesday, 7th May, 2025. She requested advice from Nigerians as the news is shocking and beyond her capability.

Obinabo said the boy’s mother herself came to her office to report the matter. According to the mother, she said the issue seems more spiritual than normal. “Anytime I see a girl coming towards our house, my heart will start to pump very fast if my son is around. I asked him if he uses any magic or spell on them but he claimed that he always tells them he loves them, please help”, the mother lamented.

The state Commissioner however refused to disclose the name of the boy, his mother or their community, she said she is waiting for the suggested solution of what to do, from the public.
