Teenage undergraduate, Ade
19-year-old Ade (surname withheld), a 100 level student in one of
the universities in the South West Nigeria, who recently made wrong use
of Google when he used it to search on what he could do to a girlfriend
who refused to abort a 2-month-old pregnancy she had for him, is
currently in police net at the Criminal Investigation Department (CID),
Oyo State Police Command, over an alleged murder attempt.
The teenage undergraduate after the search on Google, reportedly
got a knife, went to his girlfriend’s house and stabbed her twice on the
stomach and also slashed her throat on Thursday, August 11, at the
residence of his girlfriend’s parents at the Sango-Alaro area of Ibadan
at about 2:30p.m.
Speaking to Crime Reports during an interview, the suspect
disclosed that he got the clue on how to resolve the issue of his
unwanted pregnancy through the help of Google.
“I met my girlfriend about two months ago on Facebook. We had a
mutual friend and I added her. She accepted my request and we got to
know each other. I proposed a relationship to her and she accepted. We
had sex only once on July 4. I did not protect myself.
“On August 10, she told me that she was pregnant. The next
morning, on Thursday August 11, she called me that her parents wanted to
see me. I went to her parents at Alaro area of Ibadan and they wanted
to know what my intention was on the pregnancy. I suggested that she had
an abortion but they said they could not abort for their daughter
because it was against their belief. I told them that I would get back
to them on Monday, August 15.
“I left for home confused, but on the way home, different
thoughts went through my mind because I didn’t want my parents to know. I
didn’t want to disappoint them. I was with my phone at home and I
picked it and typed “What to do if my girlfriend does not want to have
an abortion on Google”. It brought out different options that I can
deny, which I didn’t deny.
“Another option was to convince her to have an abortion, which
did not work. There were also other options but the last one was that I
could kill her. I chose that option because she was the only one who
knew my house and I believed that if I killed her, no one would be able
to trace my house and I would get away with my action.
“To kill, Google gave me an option to use poison, which I knew
no pharmacy would sell to me. Other options were to use a gun or a
knife. Knife was easy to get, so I went to the market same day to buy a
knife and returned to her house. I did not meet her at home so I called
her and waited for her. When she came in, I attacked her with the knife
but she was resisting. I stabbed her on the right and left sides of her
stomach and slashed her throat.
“Unfortunately for me, her screams got to a neighbour and he
came in. Coincidentally, he is a policeman so he handcuffed me and I was
arrested. It was the fear of disappointing my parents that made me take
the action,” he said.
It was learnt that for the presence of a policeman identified as
Sergeant Ayeni Oluwafemi, who was the girl's neighbour and who heard her
cry, the 19-year-old victim would have died in a pool of her blood
while his assailant would have escaped.
