Why I Slept With My Son — Mother Confesses

Matina Agawua, a Nigerian woman, has admitted to sleeping with her biological son from her previous marriage in order to have a baby for her new husband.

Agawua, a native of Yelwata in Nasarawa State, told The Nation that after losing her first husband, she decided to remain a widow for 13 years.

Martina Agawua revealed that her first husband was killed by herdsmen in Northern Nigeria, and that her first marriage produced a son.

She remarried years after her husband’s death, but after six years of marriage, she struggled to have a child with her second husband, Mr. James. The woman claimed that her in-laws threatened to kick her out of the house because she was unable to give birth.

She told The Nation:

“We had been married for more than six years but were still childless due to my husband’s fault, according to doctor’s report, and I was hearing from the grapevine that he was planning to take a second wife on the grounds that I could not give him a child.”

“Since he is not comfortable with us going for medical checkups on the assumption that nothing was wrong with him, I decided to convince my little son, who is just about 16 years old and schooling in Akwanga.

“I visited him regularly. He stays in a private apartment with my relatives, so I was going there to spend some time with them, especially on weekends when my market is off.

“It was actually difficult making love with my own son, but circumstances forced me to go into it. I needed to be sure of my fertility.

“I know my husband very well. If he discovered I had an affair with a man outside, he would kill me.

“I love him so much and I’m afraid of him, so this evil plan kept ringing in my mind to know how fertile I am.

“I tried to visit my son in Akwanga mostly when I was on my ovulation period. I decided to develop a crush on him and draw him very close to me. We got intimate and ended up having sex.

“One faithful day while I was on my ovulation period, I visited him. It was at about 11pm. I held his hand and made him sit beside me.

“I asked him if he had ever had sex and he said no. I held him in my arms. This time, I felt warm and I think he too did.

“After that night, I felt extremely embarrassed, and guilty that I committed such an abomination with my own son.

“It was actually a taboo, but I warned him to keep it secret.”
