“So, we are really saddened about that, in one way or another this is statutory rape so we will rope in other departments. We need to find out who is the father of this baby and also calling upon parents to educate their children as there are many options of contraceptives”“Whoever impregnated children, no matter who it is, he is going to be jailed,” Fanta said.
