So, The Two Missing Teenagers Impregnated A 13 Year Old ─ Police Reveals

In a sudden twist, the police have said two teenagers, who went missing a month ago in the Solomade, Ikorodu area of Lagos State and were found in Ogun State last Saturday, ran away from home.

The police said the boys ─ Daniel and Channing Odugbo ─ had slept with a 13-year-old member of their church and got her pregnant, adding that their escape was planned to avoid the victim’s family.

Police officials, attached to the Igbogbo division, on Thursday, said Daniel’s father, Moses Odugbo, informed them at the station that one of the missing teenagers sent a text message to him (Moses), apologizing for running away.

Reports said that Daniel and Channing went missing after they were sent on separate errands on September 9. Their parents had alleged that while looking for them, policemen from the Igbogbo division collected N4,500. The two boys were found on Saturday close to the Redeemed Christian Church of God’s Redemption Camp.

Their father, Moses, said the victims were under medication due to what they had gone through in the hands of their abductors. But the Divisional Police Officer in charge of the Igbogbo division said Moses was trying to cover up for the misdeed of his children.

“What really happened was that the two boys slept with a 13-year-old girl and she became pregnant. The girl was a member of their church and they did not report it to any station. But the girl’s parents were always going to their house and making trouble with the family. So, it was in the heat of that that the boys fled the house.
