A mother, Rhoda Joshua of Karu, has asked a Grade 1 Area Court, Karu, Abuja, to order John Okechukwu, 27, of Nasarawa State to pay her N 800,000 damages for allegedly impregnating her 14-year - old daughter.

Joshua told the court on Wednesday that her daughter, who was a Secondary School 1 student in a school in Nasarawa State, had been in a sexual relationship with Okechukwu since 2016.

“ My Lord , my daughter has been seeing this guy since last year when she was 13 and as a mother, I noticed she had started having sex with him.

“ I warned her and even beat her to stop it but instead of bringing home a result of flying colours , she brought this pregnancy nine months ago.

“ I kept cautioning my daughter against the relationship and advised her to face her studies because I am a widow but she told me the guy said he wanted to marry her.

“He impregnated her while she was still in school so she had to drop out and since she took in till now that she will give birth he has never given her even one naira for her or the coming baby.

“ I have been the one taking care of her , the pregnancy and her younger one and I have no from anywhere.

“ So , I am pleading with this Court to order him to pay me the sum of N800,000 in damages for allowing her to drop out of school because of the pregnancy and for not taking any responsibility since my daughter became pregnant and for refusing to marry her.

“ He promised to marry her but since she became pregnant till now that she will soon put to bed, he has refused to even take us to his family , keep to his promise or take any form of responsibility, ’’ Joshua said.

In his response, Okechukwu said he was not ready to get married but would be giving a little sum for the upkeep of the girl.

“ My Lord, she will have my baby and that is my responsibility and I will be giving a token toward that.

“ Even if I don’t marry her that baby will make our relationship everlasting.

“ I am also a student and cannot get married now but I will try and be giving a token for the upkeep of the baby. I am not sure of the future itself, ’’ he said.

While responding to a question from the court if she was ready to get married to the respondent , the victim said she was not willing to get married to him.

“ I cannot marry him because he did not keep to his words of getting married to me and taking good care of me since I became pregnant rather he denied me and said he can't marry me. ’’

After listening to all involved, the judge, Abdullahi Baba , said the case could only be heard in a customary court.

“ The issue brought by the plaintiff before this court is centred on marriage and this can only be determined by a customary court of law.

‘”So , let this case be transferred to the Customary Court in Karu for a proper trial , ’’ Baba said.

14 yrs old?! Underage & pregnant..SANTISIIIIÌMA! I bet he juz want her to be his sparring partner in bed

Stupid girl,deal with the consequences. And the eediot guy kpanshing a minor. Their problem.

the ipod tout should be arrested for sleeping with and underage girl
that's statutorily rape(that's if am right)

Child Abuse!

So she knew about the girl's relationship with the guy since 2016, and her daughter told her the guy plans on marring her. Wonderful!, what does a 13yrs old know about marriage?. And is like the mother was comfortable with the relationship 'till the girl got pregnant. There's obviously something wrong with both mother and daughter.

She should be suing him for having sex with a minor. I don't think she's 14 years old tho. Mama this is child abuse! If she's actually 14

800k for damages ? What did he damage ?

Lubbish.

instead of bringing home a result of flying colours , she brought this pregnancy nine months ago. I no jst fit laugh

Money for what

“ Even if I don’t marry her that baby will make our relationship everlasting''
This guy must pay dat 800Gss. Thunderstorms fall on him.

Single mother and her daughter... I have nothing more to say.

This is outrageous

Naija for you.... drama everywhere, yeye dey smell

Crazy world we live in

he slept with a minor he deserves jail

all I gotta say is
JOHN OKECHUKWU

This proves my argument that the girl-child is more valuable than the male-child.

Imagine her almost earning N800K for her family at such a young age.

If the woman succeeded then
The girl is a blessing to her family..

Oh no

Seems the woman want to make sharp sharp money ?

Why cant she guard her 14 year old child jealously to prevent the like of
John and Okechukwu from impregnating her

Okechukwu!

He has developed the little girl
