Mr Clement Frank(42) has been married to Mrs. Mary Frank(38) for 15 years and they were unable to have a child before they brought a house maid to assist in domestic works.
The couple brought the 17-year old house maid from their hometown in Akwa Ibom State to stay with them and assist in domestic works.
At the arrival of the house maid, Mr Clement allegedly arranged with the maid and impregnated her in order to have a child.
However, when the wife discovered the maid is pregnant for her husband, she took the maid to a hospital where she arranged with a Doctor who terminated the pregnancy. The maid then raised alarm because she wanted to keep the pregnancy and have the baby.
The alarm she raised got the couple arrested and charged before a Court in Lagos State and remanded in custody over their alleged conduct.
While the husband, Mr. Clement, was charged for defilement and impregnating a minor, his wife was charged for facilitating the abortion of the pregnancy.
The incident happened at Kareem Street and St James Hospital in Ejigbo area, where they reside and the hospital is located.
