Family Fines Housewife N50,000 For Having S*x With Another Man

A 29-year-old house wife, identified
simply as Vero , has been accused of
infidelity in Irri community, in the
Isoko South Local Government Area
of Delta State.
Her husband, identified as Ben, on
Thursday told the elders of the
community that he caught his wife
in illicit love affair in an
uncompleted building. Sources said
Umukoro insisted that the elders
must dissolve the marriage in line
with the tradition of the Isoko
people.
According to Punch, one of the
sources said, “Today (Thursday), Ben
met with the elders of the
community and asked them to
dissolve his marriage to Vero in the
Isoko tradition.
“He told the elders that the woman
and her secret lover were caught
having s*x in an apartment in the
outskirt of the community.”
It was gathered that the illicit
relationship between the woman
and the man had been going
unnoticed by her husband before
the bubble burst.
A punch correspondent was told
that after Vero and her lover were
caught, some youths in the area
manhandled the lover. He was later
summoned by Ben’s family and told
to appease the gods according to the
custom and tradition of the people,
in order to avoid calamity that could
befall the community as a result of
the adultery.
The source added, “However, a fine
of N50,000 was imposed by the
family on the woman. She was
subsequently banished from the
house pending when she would
comply with the directive.”
