A 29-year-old native of Guma local government area of Nasarawa State, Amos Kunde, who impregnated his twin sister, Juliana, twice which resulted in two babies, has decided to get married to a new wife, but his twin sister is totally opposing his decision.
According to reports, the twin parents lived in Awe LGA of Nasarawa State as farmers until the couple and other relations were killed during the farmers/herders crisis in State in 2013. The twins, however, survived the attacks because some merciful ones among the herdsmen who attacked their community decided to spare their lives.
As a result of the unsafe nature of Awe area at that time, they decided to relocate to Doku, a village in Doma local government area of Nasarawa State, sharing a border with Benue State.
The report further has it that Juliana and her sibling started an amorous relationship until she became pregnant sometime in 2015. Because it was a new environment, many of the people in their new settlement concluded that they were husband and wife. They settled down in the community and Juliana was delivered of a baby boy about three months ago.
The bubble however burst last week, when Amos decided to take a legitimate wife from the proceeds of the farm produce they had both laboured for. He met stiff resistance from Juliana, a nursing mother, who resolved not to have any of her brother’s antics.
He said he is embarrassed by the development; however, his twin sister and mother of his two children insist that she is married to him and has reached her destination as far as marriage is concerned.
But Amos insists that nothing would stop him from taking a new wife because he is reliably told that the children he is having with his blood sister may not survive.
One of the elders in the village, Elder Kertyo Abiin, who is privy to the development, said what is happening is a taboo in the culture of the land.
