‘My brother started sleeping with me at 13’ -Heartbreaking Recount Of A 15-Year-Old Nursing Mom
A teen nursing mom simply identified as Blessing, has revealed how her elder brother, Frederick started having sex with her when she was 13 years old, leading to her becoming a mother at 15.
35-year-old Frederick residing on Ugbor Road in GRA, Benin, Edo State, was living with his family and Blessing but later sent his wife out of the house in order to fully execute his evil act.
Blessing’s defilement was discovered after she delivered a baby girl at Stella Obasanjo Hospital, in Edo State. According to information gathered, Frederick was almost lynched after he collected the baby from his sister at the hospital and attempted to dump it in a refuse dump, claiming that the baby was dead.
Frederick was attacked by an angry mob after it was found that the baby was alive and kicking. He has since been taken into custody by the commissioner for Women Affairs under the intervention of members of Edo Civil Society Organisations (EDOCSO), New Telegraph reports.

Blessing narrated:
“My brother has been sleeping with me since I was 13 years old. Sometimes last year, he sent his wife out of their matrimonial home for about eight months. He sent her out, so that he could have his way with me on a daily basis.
I had no one to cry to because he is my eldest brother. We lost our mum when I was 10 years old; this made me to stay with my brother. He promised to marry me despite all odds.
He told me that I should not terminate the pregnancy. He said that once I was delivered of the baby, he would get someone to take the baby and we would become rich.”
Blessing disclosed that the plan would have worked out, but Frederick started acting in a suspicious manner at the hospital, right after the delivery. She continues:

“My brother’s movement became suspicious at the hospital after I gave birth. The hospital management had to move me from the women’s ward to a safe place where I was with my baby.”
The baby and her teen mother were released to the officials of the Ministry of Women Affairs after some documents were signed by both parties. The Ministry of Women Affairs thanked EDOCSO for stepping into the issue.
Frederick told EDOCSO, which took him to police station, that he returned home one day and realised that his sister looked like his wife. He said that he decided to do what husband and wife used to with her.
He insisted that he couldn’t recall whatever happened after then. Frederick, who claimed that Blessing was 17 years old when he defiled her, insisted that she clocked 18 years in January.
