An 18-year-old boy in Anambra has allegedly impregnated 10 girls in just five months, sparking shock, speculation, and a public appeal for answers by the state’s Commissioner for Women’s Affairs

  • Two of the girls are his former master’s daughter and salesgirl; he was later expelled.
  • Eight others were reportedly impregnated after his return to the village.
  • Commissioner Ify Obinabo described the case as “beyond her capacity” and turned to the public.
“I asked the boy the magic he uses... he said he tells them he loves them and wants to marry them,” Obinabo said. His mother now fears any girl near her home, saying: “My heart jumps.”

Is this a case of manipulation, emotional vulnerability, or something deeper? The commissioner’s call for help may open broader conversations about consent, protection, and rural youth education.
