An 18-year-old secondary school student who ran away from her parents home in Lagos State three months ago has been found living in Lagos and pregnant for her boyfriend.
The girl – Jumoke – was declared wanted by her parents and after a frantic search for her that spanned 16 weeks, the Festac Town Police arrested her at the Diamond Bank branch at Amuwo-Odofin, where she had gone to cash some money in February.
It was discovered that she was living with her lovet whose name is Idris Umar, a 22-year-old aspiring musician and an hair stylist. As the police prepare to take Umar to court on charges of abduction, the girl has come out to say he did not abduct her neither did he rape her, declaring that she loves him and actually ran away from home to be with him after she had offended her father and was running away from him to avoid punishment.
Her words: “Idris did not abduct me and did not rape me either. I love him. He asked me my age. I didn’t want to tell him my real age because if I did, he would see me as a little girl. I told him I was 21. I ran away from home out of frustration. I don’t know why the police arrested Idris. He hasn’t done anything wrong.
