In a tragic incident in Lawa village, Ogbaku autonomous community, Mbaitoli Local Government Area of Imo State, a middle-aged man allegedly took his own life after uncovering his wife’s affair with his childhood friend.
The incident happened last Sunday.
According to a witness, the deceased had previously warned his wife and the individual involved about their alleged relationship, but the wife reportedly vowed to continue.
The witness, who simply gave her name as Gloria, stated that the husband caught the pair together on their matrimonial bed, which led to the tragic event.
She said: “The man had warned both his wife and the boyfriend, who happens to be his brother and childhood friend from the same kindred, but the wife vowed to continue the ungodly relationship with his husband’s brother/childhood friend, because he is a rich widower, while the husband is poor.
On that fateful Sunday, the husband caught them red-handed in their matrimonial bed. He couldn’t bear it; I believe that was why he took his own life.”
The deceased’s body was reportedly found dangling from a tree near his childhood friend’s compound.
