Lagos police probe officer’s 4-year pregnancy

The Lagos State Police Command has commenced an investigation following a viral video in which a female police officer alleged she has been pregnant for four years under controversial circumstances.

In the video circulating on social media, the officer, who identified herself as a single mother of three, said she had sought spiritual intervention, adding that a man she referred to as “Alhaji” was responsible for her predicament.

The officer described her situation as desperate, urging Nigerians to come to her aid regardless of her status as a member of the Nigeria Police Force.

She said: “I am a police officer, a single mother of 3, and carrying a pregnancy for four years now. I have sought spiritual solutions to the pregnancy, and I was told it was the Alhaji who impregnated me is the one responsible for my ordeal. I have challenged him, but he asked me to call police, and I have seen police officers acting cordial with him and also collecting money from him.
