An Asaba Grade ‘A’ Customary Court in Delta State last Friday
dissolved an 18-year-old marriage over a sexual intercourse by a mother
with her son.
According to Punch, the 45-year-old Mrs. Nkulumenna Owefa admitted
before the court that she seduced her son in a hotel in Abagana, Anambra
State, after she offered him the sum of N50,000.
It was gathered
during the proceedings of the court that the woman who sells trades at
the popular Ogbeonogonogo market, Asaba deceptively asked his son (name
withheld) to accompany her to Abagana near Onitsha, Anambra State where
she booked into an hotel against her initial plan of meeting with one of
her business partners at her residence in Asaba.
The son, who
testified in court on what transpired between him and the mother before
Senior Magistrate, Sylvester Oboh, said he was called upon by his mother
to accompany her somewhere where she had bought some materials for
sale.
He said, “On our way to Abagana, somewhere around Toll Gate
in Asaba, we were held in hold-up; I was with mum in her car and the
glasses were wound up as the AC was on. So our conversation was not
being heard by hawkers going about with their wares or other motorists.
“My
mum told me that she was going to take over me as my father has taken
over my sister and I thanked her, not knowing what she was up to. In
Abagana, after a lengthy discussion with her friend, we retired into the
hotel room, where my mum gave me a bottle of coke already opened and I
felt weak when she now undressed me before putting my dick into her
private part.”
The husband, Mr. Owefa, who was in court with her
daughter, Adlyn to seek the dissolution of their marriage told the
court, “All I need is the dissolution of this marriage.
“My wife
has committed the worst abomination and the only forgiveness I have for
her is the dissolution of the marriage. My son remains my son because I
know he was not seduced with ordinary hand.”
The Senior
Magistrate (Oboh), having listened to both parties, granted the
dissolution of the marriage, saying the man would take of the two
children.
