A disturbing video circulating on social media has drawn attention after a woman appeared to allege that she was repeatedly sexually abused by her own brother and became pregnant as a result.
In the video, the woman is seen speaking about her experience while seated outdoors. Her account, which has since attracted reactions online, appears to centre on an alleged history of sexual abuse involving her brother.
A social-media post accompanying the footage made the allegation more directly, stating: “Her brother give her belle.” The expression is Nigerian Pidgin slang referring to a woman becoming pregnant.
GhanaMedia.net has not independently established the identity of the woman, the identity or whereabouts of the alleged perpetrator, or the circumstances surrounding the pregnancy.
However, the allegation has a disturbing parallel in an earlier Nigerian report. In August 2021, The Guardian Nigeria reported the testimony of a survivor identified as Eniola, who said she had been raped by six men and subsequently by her brother, whom she said got her pregnant. She described the experience as deeply traumatic and said the pregnancy affected her education and relationship with her family.

That earlier report does not establish that Eniola is the woman currently appearing in the circulating video. GhanaMedia.net has found no reliable source making that connection.
The latest footage has therefore been treated cautiously as an allegation rather than a confirmed criminal case. There is also no verified information presently available to GhanaMedia.net confirming whether a police complaint has been filed or whether any investigation is underway in connection with the video.
Cases involving alleged sexual abuse within families are particularly sensitive because victims can face fear, stigma, family pressure and difficulties reporting the abuse.
Where such allegations are made, appropriate authorities and professional support services should be involved rather than relying solely on social-media commentary to determine what happened.
GhanaMedia.net will update this report if credible information emerges confirming the woman’s identity, location, the identity of the alleged perpetrator, or any police or official response to the allegations.
