A 24-year-old man, named Akpan, has allegedly
impregnated his elder sister, Ime, 25, in Ajegunle
area of Lagos State western Nigeria. According to a source, the siblings father,
popularly known as Papa Akpan, is a steward in
Ikoyi area while his wife, Mama Akpan, is a staff
of a private company in Apapa where she works
as a cleaner.
It was informed that both parents usually leave
Akpan and Ime alone in their one-room apartment
in Ajegunle when they leave for work.
The family’s neighbour, who did not want to be
identified, said both siblings are fond of each
other but nobody suspected an amorous
relationship existed between them until their
mother suspected that Ime was pregnant.
It was gathered that when mama Akpan asked
Ime if she was pregnant, she denied until it
became obvious that she was pregnant and the
woman had to tell her husband about the
situation.
Last Friday, at about 4am, Papa Akpan was said
to have woken Ime, her mother and Akpan up to
discuss the issue and had pulled out a machete
and threatened to cut Ime down if she failed to
say who was responsible for her pregnancy.
The neighbour said as the atmosphere in the
room became charged, Akpan ran out and it was
at this point that Ime told her parents that her
younger brother was the one responsible for the
pregnancy.
As at the time of filing this report, Akpan’s where
about is still unknown and Papa Akpan is said to
be threatening that he would cut Akpan’s head
whenever he sets his eyes on him.
