Cyril Obinzu, a 43-year old man, has been charged before an Ejigbo Magistrates’ court in Lagos for failing to marry a woman he impregnated.
Daily Post reports that he committed the crime at 7 Rasak Avenue in Shasha, Lagos where he resides.
The court was told that Obinzu impregnated Happiness Umukoro but refused to marry her because he had another woman he had promised to marry.
He allegedly told the pregnant woman that he had no intention to marry her as he already had another lady waiting for him.
Happiness reported the matter to the Police at Area M Idimu Command.
Consequently, Obinzu was arrested and charged for negligence by failing to supply her necessary needs after impregnating her.
The accused, however, pleaded not guilty.
The presiding Magistrate, Mrs J.O.E. Adeyemi granted him bail in the sum of N50,000 with two sureties in like sum.
Obinzu was remanded in prison custody pending when he will perfect his bail condition.
