A 15-year old girl (name withheld) shocked the police and her parents
when she told them that she couldn’t do without her boyfriend.
She
abandoned her education and left her parents’ house at Isheri road in
Ijegun and went to live with Lateef Adeyanju, her boyfriend at his house
at Olorunfemi Street, Isheri Oshun in Lagos State, southwest Nigeria.
After searching for her for several days, her parents discovered that she was living with Lateef.
They went to the police at Isheri Oshun Division and reported that their daughter had been abducted and kept in Lateef’s house.
When
the police met her at Lateef’s house, she shocked both the police and
her parents by telling them she loves him and none of them could treat
her the way Lateef was treating her, including sleeping with her.
When
the police counselled and told her that she was still young to
understand what love is all about and told her to face her education,
she said age was not a barrier to falling in love.
She said she knew what she wanted in life and they should leave her alone to live her life.
After
the police cautioned her and handed her over to her mom identified as
Helen, she returned again to Lateef’s house the following day. Following
the development, the police arrested her, her mother Helen, Lateef and
his mother, Ramota Adeyanju for their alleged complicity in the matter.
They were all charged before Ejigbo Magistrate’s court, presided over by Mrs M. B. Folami, for various offences.
The teenager was charged with indecent practice by packing her belongings and living with a man.
Her mother, Helen was charged with criminal negligence by allowing her under aged daughter to live with a man.
Lateef and his mother Ramota were charged with abduction and conduct likely to cause breach of public peace.
When
the matter came up for hearing in court, the magistrate ordered that it
should be transfered to a juvenile court because of the age of the
girl.
