The Ogun State Deputy Governor,
Prince Segun Adesegun, is neck deep in a sex scandal involving a 19year-old
undergraduate of the Lagos
State University,
(LASU), Funke Adesina, (not real names),
who is alleged to be five months pregnant for him.
It was learnt that the romance
between the Deputy Governor, who is married with kids, and the undergraduate,
began some months ago, shortly after a trip by Ms Adeshina to Abeokuta, to pick
up rents from tenants in her father's house.
Ms. Adeshina who said she did not want her
name published told us that on that fateful day, one Mr. Fajimi an aide picked
her up from her dad's house to the Deputy Governor.
According to the skinny lady who said she had briefed
some members of her family who are poised for a showdown, Mr Fajimi told her
his boss fancied her and would want to see her.
She also said that when Fajimi
continued to pressure her, she told him she was cash strapped and explained her
trip to Abeokuta which was to get some
extra cash from her dad's tenants to make up for the shortfall in her school
fees, which was in excess of N200,000.
According to Ms. Adeshina who
disclosed that she had already contacted a lawyer and the police “I later
agreed to meet him. Mr. Fajimi took me to him, and told me he (Adesegun) would
take care of my needs. At that time I had not been able to raise enough money
since the State Government just hiked tuition in my school, (LASU), to over
N200,000. The Deputy Governor promised to care of my fees, and even marry me,
he was nice initially”
She continued, “he allowed me to
stay at his guest house regularly. I agreed because he said he would help me
and assured me he would marry me. But he did not give me a kobo. At a point Mr.
Fajimi said he would send me N40,000 but nothing, I just trusted him”
Having swallowed the Deputy
Governor's marriage bait; hook, line and sinker, Ms. Adeshina gave in
wholeheartedly and cared no more about immediate gains from the Ogun State
number two man.
We gathered further that on
September 24, 2011, she got another late night call from the Deputy Governor.
In spite of persuasions from her friends who maintained it was too late to ply
the Lagos-Abeokuta expressway, especially as it involved going to meet a man
who would certainly not raise an eyebrow should any harm befall her; she left,
never wanting to disappoint her newfound love.
But to her chagrin, when she
arrived the guest house in Abeokuta
his aides told her the boss would not be around for the night.
Ms Adeshina alleged “ I didn't
see him that night as he never bothered to let me know his wife and family had
joined him in the now completed Governor's Lodge. I was left at the Guest House
with aides who took care of my needs till the morning of September 25, when the
Deputy Governor hurriedly came into the room.”
Thereafter, he allegedly headed
for a meeting at an unknown destination, promising to give her an undisclosed
sum the following Thursday. That was the last time Prince Segun Adesegun allowed
his LASU mistress near him or the Governor's Lodge. He stopped answering her
calls when Ms. Adeshina told him she noticed changes in her body since the last
time they met.
The undergraduate said she fell
terribly sick and medical tests confirmed she was pregnant. Asked why they
engaged in unprotected sex, she said “ I trusted Prince Segun's status and
believed the man was capable of taking care of any outcome “
According to her, all efforts to reach the Deputy Governor was
abortive as he kept referring her calls to his aide, Mr. Fajimi, who in turn
put her on hold with curios excuses.
Mr. Fajimi, she alleged, assured
her his boss would take care of her needs, but expected Ms. Adeshina to
exercise patience while the Deputy Governor attended to the 'more important
business of governance.'
After three months and with her
pregnancy now visible, depressed and frustrated, she decided to send text
messages to him threatening to speak to his wife and the press about her
predicament should he maintain his silence.
According to her “when I
threatened to go to the media and tell his wife, he sent a paltry N10, 000 (Ten
Thousand naira) to me through one of his men called Taiwo. Taiwo said I should
use it to offset some medical bills and that arrangements were underway by his
boss to 'pay me off' a statement that
was not quite clear to me, at that time “
We learnt that soon after she got
the N10, 000.00, Taiwo's mobile number 08022308059 went blank and has remained
unreachable till the time of filing this report.
In other to conceal her condition
from her hypertensive father while pressure is mounted on the Deputy Governor
to come up with his plan for her, which borders around paying her off or
performing her marriage rites, Ms. Adeshina was allegedly smuggled out from
their Iyana Ipaja, Lagos, home to somewhere around FESTAC, Lagos.
She, however, maintained she would have
terminated the pregnancy earlier if she had the premonition that the Deputy
Governor's mission was just to use her for his immediate sexual pleasure.
Ms. Adeshina who is about five
months gone said she already spoke to
the police and a lawyer in Abeokuta who agreed to accompany her with her
parents to meet the Deputy Governor at his Lodge should the man maintain his
stance of not wanting to speak with or see her.
She, however, said her uncle is
expected from Ibadan
on Sunday, February 12, who would create the environment to break the news to
her father before their planned visit to the Deputy Governor.
But the pregnant teenager fears
her life may not be the same again after going through so much pain and
rejection from a man she had believed was honorable. She is sick, dejected and
deeply worried she might lose her pregnancy after all.
Asked why she wants her story to
go public before their visit toAbeokuta, she maintained she chose to let the
Nigerian public know, just in case anything happens to her or her family.
This is blackmail -Deputy
Governor
THE attention of the Deputy
Governor of Ogun State, Prince Segun Adesegun has been
drawn to your publication of alleged impregnation of a 19 year old girl. It is
indeed a pity that your organization is allowing itself to be the latest tool
in the fad of destruction and blackmail by some political actors bent on
tarnishing his image to an end which would soon be self destructive.
As a Yorubaman and a Prince, the
Deputy Governor would not run away in the face of impregnating a woman, if it
ever happens. It is however most ridiculous, insulting and embarrassing that he
would meet a girl, promise her N200, 000 and marriage within two weeks which
your organization believed or concocted.
It is obvious that yours is no
ordinary publication as the writer of this fiction could have done so much work
to know that the girls is 19, a student of LASU, that her parents are
hypertensive, have tenants in Abeokuta where she collects rent, needed N200,
000 for school fees, asked for N400, 000 as pay off yet giving the Deputy
Governor an opportunity to react before publication after your “investigation”
was a problem
It will be most interesting to
see the pregnant nameless LASU girl. Please put an end to all this nonsense.
