According to a report by Kemi Filani news, Pete Edochie said;
”“My mother was not educated. She was not in love with my father. My father was almost 40 when his uncle told him it was time he got married. He told them to get a wife for him.
My uncle went out to a neighbouring village and told them the teacher wanted to get married. The women came out. He looked around and picked one and that was it. He brought this 15-year-old who didn’t dare to look at my father. She gave him ten children and was still shy. Seven boys and three girls”
Reacting to his narration, Rev. Laurie Idahosa asserted that his mother was a victim of rape and child bride and according to her, Pete Edochie’s mother was not shy but afraid of her life.
She wrote;
How can he laugh about her being “shy?” Oga, she was not shy. She was a victim of rape and was a child bride. She wasn’t respectful of his age, she was afraid for her life. Know the difference and adjust this story… start telling the truth!
