Matina Agawua, a native of Yelwata, in Nasarawa State, has confessed to have slept with her biological son, from her previous marriage just to have a baby for her husband.
In an interview with The Nation, Agawua said when she lost her first husband, she decided to remain a widow for 13 years. She revealed shd lost her first husband to herdsmen att@ck in Northern Nigeria. Her first marriage produced a son.
She remarried years after the de@th of her husband but had difficulties having a child with her second husband, Mr James after six years of marriage. The woman said her in-laws thre@tened to show her the way out on the ground of not being able to have a child for their son. “We had been married for more than six years but were still childless due to my husband’s fault, according to doctor’s report, and I was hearing from the grapevine that he was planning to take a second wife on the grounds that I could not give him a child.”

She said while she took fertility test, her husband did not deem it necessary to go for a medical check-up to ascertain the source of the problem. She said she suspected that her husband was s#ffering from low spe#m count which made him unable to father a child as the test she took showed that there was nothing wrong with her. The woman said it was amid this cr!sis that she slept with her only son from her first marriage.

“Since he is not comfortable with us going for medical checkup on the assumption that nothing was wrong with him, I decided to convince my little son, who is just about 16 years old and schooling in Akwanga. I visit him regularly. He stays in a private apartment with my relatives, so I was going there to spend some time with them, especially on weekends when my market is off. It was actually difficult making love with my own son, but circumstances forced me to go into it. I needed to be sure of my fertility. (Cont’d on next slide) ?: The Nation
