A housewife who is barren has been reportedly displaced by her
14-year-old housemaid who was impregnated by the woman’s husband simply
known as Emmanuel. The pregnant maid has insisted that she will not
share or live with Emmanuel’s wife under the same roof.According to a report by P.M.Express, the maid reportedly insisted
that the embattled woman should look for another husband elsewhere since
she was unable to bear a child for Emmanuel before she got pregnant for
him.
The incident happened at the Egbeda area of Lagos where Emmanuel
resided with his wife who had not been able to bear a child after years
of marriage, and this latest development with housemaid has caused
serious problem between Emmanuel and the wife to the extent the matter
was reported to the police at Area M Command, Idimu, Lagos.
It was learnt that Emmanuel was arrested and charged before a Lagos
Magistrates court for rape and impregnating an underaged girl.
In a bid to know why Emmanuel will have to face such serious charge
since the girl consented, Police sources explained that the girl was
below 18 years before Emmanuel impregnated her.
It was gathered further that the housemaid was brought from the
eastern part of the country by Emmanuel’s neighbour who was a single
mother.
Emmanuel had sought for medical and spiritual solutions for his
wife to get pregnant to no avail. He was said to be secretly sleeping
with the house maid until she became pregnant.
When her madam suspected her condition, she took her to a hospital,
doctors conducted tests and confirmed that she was pregnant. She then
opened up and mentioned Emmanuel as the one responsible. He admitted and
promised to take of the girl and the baby.
However, everything turned upside down when the house maid gave the
condition that she will not share him with his wife, thereby dislodging
the wife which has landed Emmanuel in trouble.
Emmanuel was charged before Ogba Magistrates court for the alleged offence and he pleaded not guilty.
The presiding Magistrate granted him bail in the sum of N250,000
with two sureties in like sum. He was remanded in prison custody pending
when he will perfect the bail condition.
The matter was adjourned till 15 January, 2018.
