It is not unusual to see a pregnant mad woman roaming the streets in Nigeria. Over time some of these women have also been seen wandering about, eating from refuse bins and drinking water from drains with a child or two.

A netizen once said, “I always wondered who got mad women pregnant In Nigeria. Immaculate conception?”

News stories abound concerning Nigerian men of different ages and from different parts of the country who were caught while sleeping with mad women or arrested by the police for impregnating them. No prosecution or punishment has come to the light yet.

Days ago however, a Zambian court sentenced a man to 10 years imprisonment for sleeping with a mentally challenged woman four years ago.

Edwin Sakala, was arrested in March 2019 after residents exposed him for having carnal knowledge of a mentally ill woman in Masala.

Eyewitnesses had revealed that the man, who was 29 years at the time used to drag the woman into his apartment every night to have sex with her and then bring her out early in the morning.

A source told Zambian eagle; “the man has been dragging her into his apartment late at night and bringing her out early mornings.”

Sakala met his Waterloo after neighbours who had been suspecting him paid more attention to his movements, and then caught him in the act.

The Masala police arraigned him in court and after 4 years of the case lingering, a judge found him guilty and convicted Sakala.

Nevertheless, His Lordship gave Edwin Sakala an option of marrying the mentally challenged woman or spending time in jail.
