Labake is a  mentally challenged teenager. Two years ago someone took advantage of her condition, impregnated and abandoned her. She was begging for food and money to survive.

The first time l saw her was in October  2020 when  she strayed into my event. She was being dragged out  by security men when she caught the attention of Kafayat Oyetola, Osun State. First Lady, who was my guest.

The First Lady took Labake to Oshogbo, rehabilited, took care of her till she delivered. Then she brought Labake back to Apomu, headquarters of Isokan Local Government area of Osun State.

This year again,2022, an unknown man whose name according to Labake is “Operator” impregnated her and disappeared.

On Thursday, November 3, l was told Labake was at the Palace gate. I thought it was her usual  visit for support. I asked my staff to take some  things to her. He came back with a paper and said Labake was crying profusely.

The paper was the scan result which showed among other things that she had been due since October 24 and   the baby’s breech position in her womb  posed great danger to her life.The baby’s head was up instead of down. The ideal position for birth is head down.

I asked the security to let her in. When l saw her, l didn’t need to be told that she was in great pain. l called Julius Edet and Moses Bello (both members of the Medical team  l set up for my project “Initiative To Stop Teenage Pregnancy,) to come to the Palace.

They took her to the Health Center. After payment was  made for registration and tests, the officials said there was no doctor to attend to her.

She was taken to another health centre. The Matron spoke to me. She said Labake’s condition was beyond them. She advised that Labake be taken to a private hospital or General hospital Oluyoro in Ibadan because the only way she could give birth was through operation.

For me Ibadan was not an option at all because of distance and traffic gridlock. Labake may not have have survived the stress in the condition that she was.

I decided to call Goke Odetunde, Chairman of our local government. He responded immediately. l told him the situation on ground. He said Labake should to be taken to a private hospital in a neighbouring community. He also paid the bill.

To the glory of Almighty God, the operation was successful.She delivered  a baby boy. Mother and child are alive.

But the journey to save Labake has not ended. I would like to rehabilitate and provide a secured shelter for her. She can then acquire a skill or start a trade.

I want to thank the Chairman for the rapid response and kind gesture. Julius and Moses for  devoting their time and attention to be with Labake throughout her agonising hours.

I want to appeal to the men who keep taking advantage of Labake’s mental condition to sexually harrass/ abuse/ impregnate her, to desist. If she were your sister or daughter l do not think you will    be happy if someone does that to her.

Most likely, you would describe such action as man’s inhumanity to a vulnerable teenager girl.
