A stepfather in the Okitipupa Local Government Area of Ondo State identified as Femi Orojo is now on the run after allegedly raping and impregnating his 13-year-old stepdaughter.

According to Punch, his wife and mother of the victim, Bunmi, whose 6-year-old marriage to the suspect is yet to produce a child, said she discovered the girl was five months pregnant last week.

She said,

“When I asked her who was responsible for the pregnancy, she started crying, saying if she told me she would die. I took her to my pastor and after much pressure, she confessed that it was my husband.

She told my pastor that when I was not around, my husband entered into her room with a machete and raped her.
