Osun teenager accuses cleric stepfather of impregnating her at 13 and taking her for ab0rt!ion
A 16-year-old Osogbo, Osun State resident has accused her stepfather, a clergyman only known as Femi, of having impregnated her when she was 13 years old.
In an attempt to find a different form of resolution, the victim brought the matter to the attention of the World Institute for Peace (WIP), a non-governmental organization.
In an affidavit, she stated—sworn to at the Osun State Ministry of Justice—that she had an abortion following her stepfather's induction of her into a pregnancy.

The girl disclosed to the NGO representatives that she had been subjected to abuse by her stepfather for around four years prior to reporting the issue to her teacher at school.
At a WIP-organized meeting for alternative dispute resolution, the victim disclosed that Femi began "having sex with me since I was 12 years old." I became pregnant when I was thirteen, and he drove me to a hospital so I could have an abortion.
“He asked me to lie to the doctor that my classmate impregnated me and ran away. The first time he had int£rcourse with me was on my mother’s bed and he has been doing it continuously.
“I decided not to take the matter to court because my mother had four children for him, although two were de@d.
“I don’t want a situation whereby when the children grow up, it would be as if I am the one who sent their father to prison. I decided not to take legal action because of his children who are my younger siblings.”
Femi, who presented himself at the conference as a pastor of a church he founded in addition to being a professional motorcycle rider, acknowledged doing the crime.
“It is true I slept with her although I don’t remember the number of times I did it with her. I’m a pastor and it was God who told me to sleep with her. God also told me to abort the pregnancy,” he said.
"My daughter went to the human rights organization, World Institute for Peace, and reported a case of def!lement and abuse leveled against her stepfather, Femi, early in August 2024," the victim's mother swore in the affidavit on her behalf.
“That, she (victim) agreed to resolve the dispute through alternative dispute resolution and has engaged in negotiation.
“That the family is not ready to pursue any case whatsoever with Mr Femi any longer. That the purpose of withdrawing was as a result of a settlement between the families which she was the sole proposition on the settlement.”
Lamina Omotoyosi, the NGO's head, bemoaned the rise in incest cases in the state and advised parents to protect their kids, especially from near family members and relatives.
