A 55-year old mother of seven, Mrs Oluchukwu Nkwazoma has been
arrested and charged before Isolo Magistrate’s court for hiding another
woman’s husband, Alloy Benson Njoku in her house in Lagos.
The incident happened in her house at 16, Panada Street, Isolo, Lagos where Oluchukwu resides.
She was charged with conspiracy and conduct likely to cause breach of public peace under the Criminal Code.
Trouble
started after Alloy who resides at Mushin Road in the same Isolo
community informed his wife, Chizoba that he was traveling to Abuja for a
business transaction and asked her to manage a stipend until he comes
back with money.
While the obedient mother of two wished her
hubby safe journey unknown to her he moved into Oluchukwu’s house where
he hibernated for several days before the wife ran into her husband and
the other woman on the road.
P.M. EXPRESS gathered that both
Alloy and Oluchukwu from Imo State, had known each other before they met
again and then rekindled their relationship.
While they are
separately married and attend same church, angry Chizoba alleged that
she didn’t know that their relationship continued after Oluchukwu had
separated from her own husband.
When Chizoba met her husband and
Oluchukwu strolling on the street, she immediately raised an alarm,
accused her husband of betrayal and asked him to follow her back to
their house. But Oluchukwu stopped him but asked Alloy rather to follow
her back to her house.
An embittered Chizoba followed them and continued to protest that the other woman forced out her husband from the house.
This angered Oluchukwu who then ordered her grown up children to beat
up Chizoba in the presence of her husband who did nothing.
The
matter was reported to the police at Aswani division who initially
arrested all the parties involved in the matter, but then discovered the
cause of the fight.
Oluckukwu was later charged to the court with the alleged offence.
She pleaded not guilty.
The presiding Magistrate, Mrs A.K Shonubi granted her bail in the sum of N20,000 with one surety in like sum.
Oluchukwu was remanded in prison custody pending when she will perfect her bail condition.
The matter was adjourned till 6 Febuary 2017
