Baby girl born from gang rape named after Lordina Mahama
The Member of Parliament for Abuakwa South, Dr Kingsley Agyemang, has named a baby girl delivered by a 13-year-old mother after First Lady Lordina Mahama, following months of support he provided to the teenage mother during her pregnancy.
The teenage girl, from Adukrom near Boamang in the Ashanti Region, became pregnant after being ganged raped. With little to no support from her family or community, she struggled to access basic care during the pregnancy.
Dr Agyemang intervened after learning about her situation on Oyerepa TV’s social, Oyerepa Afutuo. He arranged medical care, provided food, and supplied essential items to ensure the safety and wellbeing of both the mother and the unborn child.
After the successful delivery, the MP named the baby after the First Lady, a decision that has drawn public attention, particularly because Dr Agyemang is a Member of Parliament for the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Explaining his choice, he said it was not politically motivated but came from a spiritual experience.
“I was on a plane to the USA from London when I suddenly fell asleep, or was in a trance. Then I heard a voice saying I should name the baby, yet to be delivered, after the First Lady,” Dr Agyemang recounted.
He said he initially questioned why he should name the child after the First Lady.
“The voice then asked me who the First Lady of Ghana was, and I answered quietly in my head. Then I got up,” he said.
Dr Agyemang noted that at the time, he did not even know the gender of the unborn child.
“The name was given to me by God. At that time, I didn’t even know the gender of the baby, yet I was asked to name her after the First Lady,” he added.
He explained that although he had personal naming options, including naming the child after his own mother, he felt compelled to follow the spiritual instruction and emphasised that the decision was not politically motivated.
“Ideally, I wouldn’t have named her after the First Lady, but the voice said so. This tells me that we should continue to help each other in the best of our ability without any political colourisation,” he said.
Dr Agyemang added that the naming reflects compassion, gratitude, and collective responsibility in supporting vulnerable children and survivors of abuse, and he expressed hope that the baby will emulate the First Lady to become a prominent figure in society…CONTINUE MORE READING>>>
