45-year-old carpenter impregnates mother in-law
It was gathered that his wife, Victoria, blessed with a daughter, lived in Lafia where she manages a provision store while her husband runs a carpentry workshop. But by way of augmenting their incomes, they are heavily involved in farming activities in Awe, where they hire labourers to work on their farms.
However, things fell apart after the implementation of the anti-grazing law in Benue State pushed over 85% of Fulani herdsmen from Benue to settle in Awe, as they started destroying, at an alarming rate, farmlands belonging to others.
This situation made Victoria invite her mother who is a widow to come over and help her husband harvest their farm produce of yam and guinea corn since she was very busy with her shop business in Lafia. In the course of time, sometime in mid-September 2017, John and his mother-in-law, Mrs Ashetu Igbasue, 42, relocated to Awe in order to fast-track their harvesting.
Amazingly, three months after, Victoria was
shocked to know that her mother was heavily pregnant for her husband.
“I’m distressed, I don’t know how to handle this
matter,” Victoria told Saturday Sun.
“I got married to my husband nine years ago. The
marriage is blessed with a baby girl and my mother used to come around to spend
some time with us especially when she lost her husband.
“But this time around, I personally requested that
she should come and help us do some work on the farm. Since then she had been
in the village with my husband helping on the farm, though both of them used to
come to Lafia regularly to pick supplies and go back because they were
determined to evacuate all crops from the farm to the house before herdsmen
could come to destroy them.
“There was a time my husband came to Lafia to get
some cooking ingredients and I asked him whether they were feeding well. He
told me lightheartedly that my mother’s cooking was more delicious than mine. I
did not suspect anything bad. I believed my husband. And, moreover, the woman
in question is my mother, not a rival.”
“The last time my mother came to Lafia from my
husband’s village, she shockingly told me that she did not see her period for
the first and second month running which implies that she is pregnant and said
that my husband is responsible for it. She said she wants it aborted because it
would be a shameful thing for her to be pregnant at her age when her husband is
not alive.
“I invited her to come and assist me to take care
of our farm work since Fulani people have been destroying it, but I did not
know that my husband had established a love relationship with her. She
confessed to me that my husband was responsible for her pregnancy,” she said.
Expressing her disappointment at her husband’s
behaviour, Victoria remarked: “It would have been better for him to get a
second wife who will be stationed at home or even look for a girlfriend to
satisfy him in my absence rather than going into a love affair with my own
mother; it is a very shameful thing and an abomination of the highest order; it
is wrong.”
The mother-in-law, Mrs. Igbasue, on her part said
that it all started on the farm during a joke which led to s3x later in the
night when they returned from the farm.
“I agreed to his demand for s3x and thought it was
just to satisfy his s3xual feelings, but somehow, it became a daily thing,” she
confessed.
“I never thought I could get pregnant due to my
age. I told my daughter the truth so that we can get a solution to it and out
of anger she went public with it. I have since regretted my action. My
intention is to find a way and abort it. My daughter earlier agreed to look for
somebody to abort it for me because I can’t keep it. The whole thing was a
temptation and I completely regret it. I have pleaded for forgiveness from
her,” she added.
John on his part admitted that he has deeply
offended God as well as his wife for going too far by sleeping with his
mother-in-law to extent of getting her pregnant, adding that the pregnancy
won’t stand as he will do his best by pleading with his wife to accept aborting
it.
“I have regretted what happened. It is not of my
character and the shame this very act has brought to me, my wife and the entire
village as well as those who know me is unbearable,” he lamented.
“Since my wife leaked this out, I have not been
comfortable and have lost appetite for food. I have been pleading with her to
forgive me because it is the devil’s work,” he said.
