According to a report by the PUNCH Newspaper, the Anambra State Ministry of Women and Social Welfare has rescued a 13-year-old girl who gave birth to a baby after being allegedly impregnated by her guardian, Mr. Sunday Muoghalu.
The rescue of the girl came after news of the delivery of her baby broke out on social media over the weekend, which showed the teenage mother with her newborn at a hospital in Adazi-Nnukwu, Anaocha Local Government Area of the state.
A report by PUNCH Newspaper claimed she was being detained for her inability to pay her hospital bill. Following the incident, it propelled the Anambra State government to search for the girl, who was rescued by a team from the women’s ministry and taken into safe custody. The suspect, Mr. Sunday Muoghalu, was arrested on Sunday, and this was confirmed by the spokesperson for the ministry, Chidimma Ikeanyionwu.
According to the teenage mother, while narrating her story, she said she hailed from Akwa Ibom State, while her biological parents stayed in Agulu, Anambra State.
Listen to Her: “Mr. Muoghalu’s wife is known as Madam Ghana. This started when Madam Ghana travelled to the village.”
“I am not the only one involved. There is another girl who is seven years old; Mr Muoghalu used to sleep with her too.”
“This started when I began to see my menstruation, and he started forcing me to sleep with him. I once told Madam Ghana about it, and she cautioned her husband, but when it continued, I could not do much any longer.”
