CYRIACUS IZUEKWE
A housewife, simply known as Linda, has landed in trouble in Lagos after she passionately pleaded with her husband, Okey, to allow her to sleep with his friend in order to get pregnant after over 8 years of marriage without a child. P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened at Agodo Egbe, Ikotun area of Lagos, where they reside.
The request has put Linda in serious trouble as the husband ordered her out of their matrimonial home for daring to make such demand.
Linda, now living with her relations in Ikorodu area of Lagos, had been sending emissaries to her husband begging for forgiveness over the demand but he refused.
It was gathered that the husband, Okey, is an international business man, who deals on different wares which he imports for distribution. He is also said to have many choice properties both in Lagos and southeast but the major challenge had been inability to bear a child.
The couple got married several years ago after their traditional marriage and wedding but since then, they have been childless. They were said to have tried both medical and spiritual solutions yet Linda was not able to get pregnant. The doctors had stated that her husband had low sperm count and he was treated to no avail.
The wife became worried about what will become her fate if she had no child. Her husband said he was tired of taking any drugs and then concentrated on travelling from one country to another for business transactions.
According to Linda, he got married and they have been having the issue but the husband did not buy the idea of adopting a baby. She said she had told him as a way of finding solution to their problem, that she can sleep with his friend and he would not know he impregnated her during the romp.
But the husband suspected that for his wife to have suggested his friend, it means she had been sleeping his friend and merely wanted his consent to normalise their illicit affair and then decided to send her away.
When P.M.EXPRESS correspondent contacted Linda, she confirmed that her husband had sent her away over her request as she needed a child to consolidate on the marriage.
She said she decided to seek her husband’s permission because she knew if she does such without his consent, he would still know but it has now put her marriage in jeopardy.
The husband could not be reached as he was said to have travelled out of Lagos.
