A 35-year-old man, Simeon Ekwuruke is in trouble for allegedly neglecting his 17-year-old 'wife' and denying her the necessities of life.
The little girl turned woman is not legally married to him but she has been living with him. The couple started dating since she was in Junior Secondary School 2.
She was pregnant for him when she was only 13 and within four years, the couple were said to have had three children while living in their apartment on Ladafe Dada Street, Ikate, Surulere, Lagos.
However, when she got pregnant with their fourth kid, Simeon allegedly assaulted her, claiming he was not the father of the children, and had refused to feed her for the past two months.
The charge read, "That you, Simeon Ekwuruke, between the month of September and October, 2014 at Ladafe Dada Street, Ikate Surulere, Lagos, in the Lagos Magisterial District, being charged with the duty of providing for (daughter), aged one and half years, and (wife), aged 17 years, the necessities of life, did unlawfully fail to do so, whereby their lives and health are likely to be endangered and thereby committed an offence."
