Trust is one of the key words every marriage and legal amorous relationship is built on. Infidelity, as a matter of fact has caused many people their marriages. Heartthrobs have ended up in hospitals because of cheating on partners. Matthew Dike looks at some outrageous scenarios in which infidelity and adultery destroyed very good relationships and homes.
Love is said to be a dangerous game. Most heartthrobs are very jealous and could do anything, even to kill or harm either their rivals or their lovers or both.
When a man is married to a woman, he expects loyalty without doubt from the wife while the women, especially the Christians who believe in one man- one wife policy as stipulated in the bible, expected same from their husbands.
In some cases when temptation set in, either the man or the woman usually throw decorum to the wind to flirt with the opposite sex outside wedlock. In most cases, the repercussion is usually disastrous. Many people have been killed or injured out of jealousy or shame of being betrayed by someone they love so much. Some cases of jealousy are ridiculous.
Below are some of the outrageous scenarios in which either the men or women were caught in the infidelity act. Lagos State police command comment on how to deal with people who go out of the way to attack their heartthrobs violently because of infidelity or adultery:
On October 20, 2015 a woman ‘butchered’ her husband’s head for impregnating her friend and neighbour. The woman identified as Mama Ekaite was said to have attacked her hubby, Papa Ekaite for impregnating their next door neighbour, Mama Ngozi, at Ajah area of Lagos State.
Their neighbour, Mama Risikatu was purported to have leaked the secret to Mama Ekaite that Papa Ekaite had impregnated Mama Ngozi, a widow, and was warming up to marry her.
Another neighbour, Emeka Opara, said that Mama Ekaite was very infuriated when she heard the offensive news and rushed to Mama Ngozi’s apartment with same anger, but fortunately for the latter, she was not in her one room apartment.
Immediately Papa Ekaite returned from work, it was as if hell was let loose as Mama Ekaite demanded to know the truth from her husband. Papa Ekaite was said to be apologetic, but called it an act of God which provoked his wife.
His wife, who is a turkey and chicken seller, pulled out the short cutlass she used in cutting meat and used same to ‘butcher’ her husband’s head.
After the deed had been done, she fled from the scene. Her husband vowed to marry Mama Ngozi and warned that his wife should not step into the house because of what she had done to him.
On September 12, 2015, a man caught his neighbour making love to wife in his matrimonial bed and in his bedroom, along Ojo Road, Ajegunle, in Lagos State, which people around described as an abomination.
The angry man, identified simply as Udoh arrived his residence only to be informed by a tale-teller that his neighbour, Chukwuka was inside with the wife identified as Gift.
Udoh was said to have peeped in through a hole in the window and saw Chukwuka having carnal knowledge of his (Udoh’s) wife, Gift.
Udoh had attempted breaking the door when Gift opened it and dashed out of the room with only one wrapper round her body.
Their neighbour, Enang disclosed that Udoh entered his two-room apartment and was searching for his cutlass when Chukwuka escaped through the other room.
When Udoh came out with his cutlass, the two lovebirds were nowhere to be found. Udoh warned that if any of them returns to the residence blood would flow.
In September 3, 2015, a jealous lover stabbed his rival in the eye when he saw him and his heartthrob caressing one another in the night, at Ilasan Estate, along Victoria Island- Lekki- Ibeju expressway.
The angry lover, identified simply as Mudashiru was said to have seen the two heartthrobs in a manner he believed was provocative and decided to take action.
Mudashiru slapped his estranged lover, Ifeoma without question. Ibrahim never had the premonition that confronting Mudashiru would become a calamity on him. But when he did, Mudashiru burst a beer bottle and stabbed him in the eye.
Ifeoma was said to have explained to the people around that Mudashiru had been dating her for about six years but did not show any interest in marrying her. But since Ibrahim came into her life, he rekindled her hope in marriage as he had promised to marry her. She said out of jealousy, Mudashiru stabbed him and also injured her too.
On July 9, 2015, a woman threw decorum to the wind as she bit her hubby’s private part and finger for having the effrontery to bring her friend to their bedroom and having carnal knowledge of her when she caught them.
Mama Bose, who sells tomatoes and pepper at Oshodi market, in Lagos State, was with her friend Mama Sunday who sells fish close to her.
Papa Bose, a commercial mini-bus driver stopped over to greet both women before he left.
After some minutes, Mama Sunday’s mobile phone was said to have rung and she begged her friend Mama Bose to look after her fish because she had an urgent call from her residence.
Mama Bose agreed, but unknown to her the woman was going to meet her (Mama Bose’s) husband, Papa Bose at their residence along Agege Motor Road, Mushin.
A woman who bought tomatoes and pepper from Mama Bose three days earlier but forgot the clothes she bought at the market with Mama Bose came to collect the items. She begged Mama Bose to use N500 and pick a motorcycle to her residence where Mama Bose left the clothes so that she could take them.
Mama Bose agreed and moved to her residence, but as she was approaching, a tale-teller beckoned on her not to talk and she revealed to her that her friend, Mama Sunday was inside their apartment with Mama Bose’s husband. She wondered why she should be there instead of the market.
One of their co-tenants, Chidi Ekeh disclosed that Mama Bose used a spare key to open the bedroom door. And behold, Papa Bose and Mama Sunday were both naked in bed having carnal knowledge of each other.
Ekeh said, “Papa Bose tried to beg the wife not to raise an alarm but she was too enraged to listen. Instead she was looking for an object to smash on their heads. Papa Bose held his wife’s hands and told her rival to wear her clothes quickly and escape from the scene. Mama Bose bit him in the hand while Mama Sunday managed to escape in one wrapper and blouse.
The angry woman held her husband’s private part and bit it. She said if not for the children she had for Papa Bose, she would have chopped off his penis and possibly chewed the testicles because he is not responsible.”
On October 13, 2015, an angry woman abandoned her husband and escaped with their three kids because he had not paid her bride price.
The man was said to have wept because he did not know where to find them and could not also confront the wife’s family with the situation.
The man, Friday Onyeka had been living with his heartthrob, Matilda for 10 years, along Igbosere Street, Lagos Island, in Lagos State, before the incident occurred. Onyeka is from Kwale, in Delta State, while his wife hails from Cross River State.
Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer cautions jealous heartthrobs against attacks on their partners
The State police command spokesperson, SP Ifedolapo Badmos has appealed to lovers to maintain peace during this season of St Valentine. Badmos told Lagosians to shun violence, adding that whoever is aggrieved should report the matter to the police instead of taking the laws into their hands.
Her words: “People should be law- abiding and as they celebrate Valentine’s Day, they should do so peacefully. If you are aggrieved, please report the matter to the police. Don’t take laws into your hands. There is a standing rule and there is law. You must obey the law. That’s the norm”.
“If you have any serious issue with your partner please don’t carry out any violence. Just go to the police station and report the matter and police will take action on the matter. Avoid fight or any form of violence. We are not going to tolerate that. If you do anything illegal, ours is to enforce the law. If you commit a criminal offence, we are going to take you to court and prosecute you. So this festive season, we want everybody to be peaceful. Whether you are married or not. We don’t want violence, that’s what I’m saying.” – Culled from Leadership.
