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.
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 sex 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 the husband before the bubble burst.
Punch
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.”
