with the news that a 26-year-old man, Ugochukwu has impregnated his
mother and step-sister.

popularly called Peter by people in the area allegedly left his mother
identified as Cecilia while he was 12 years old to look for the

most sought-after man and darling of the many women who flock around the
hotel where he works.

where he reportedly met and started dating one Mary, who turned out to
be his step sister, being the girl his mother had for the Yoruba man she
