Ugochukwu Nwonwu, a native of Umuokwenuta Isingwu in Umuahia North Local Government Area of Abia State, is currently on the run after he was discovered to have raped and impregnated his 13-year-old daughter.
Ugochukwu who is said to be in his thirties, was recently discovered to have put his 13-year-old daughter in the family way.
What is most shocking is that the teenage girl is a product of an incestous relationship Ugochukwu had with his cousin many years ago.
Ugochukwu’s brother, Chukwunyere, who spoke with newsmen, said Ugochukwu had an affair with their cousin, the daughter of their father’s brother 16 years ago. The secret affair led to the birth of a set of twin girls.
When their affair came to light, the couple insisted they were in love and must get married. This caused a serious fight in their family as everyone insisted it was a taboo in their culture. The lovers continued their affair and had another girl who Ugochukwu has gotten pregnant.
“The mother of the small girl is our sister, so, when my brother impregnated her some years back; the family said they cannot marry that it was abomination. But she eventually delivered twins; two girls, then we went and did some sacrifices to appease the land. My father was alive then. We did all the traditional rites. We didn’t know that he relocated the lady to Abuja and they continued their incestuous life until she became pregnant again and gave birth to another girl. The twins are 15 while the next one is 13,” Chukwunyere said.
Ugochukwu was made to get married to another lady from the Orlu area of Imo State who had three children for him, two boys and a girl.
