This is the second time Simon is impregnating his mother. The first
pregnancy had ended in a miscarriage and community elders fined Simon an
undisclosed number of cattle. They had told the duo to stop the
incestuous act or face the consequences. Unknown to the elders, Simon
continued the unholy affair with his mother resulting in a second
pregnancy.
Simon’s father died shortly after and this led people to suggest that
it must have been the effect of the abominable act that resulted in his
death.
Simon and his mother continued the affair after his father’s death
resulting in another pregnancy. Simon’s mother is already 5 months
pregnant. When villagers realized this, they reported the matter to the
chief who ordered for Simon and his mother’s arrest. Before they could
be arrested, Simon fled with his mother.
The chief and the people have vowed to punish the duo according to
customs and tradition. The community condemned the act as sacrilegious.
