Rivers Housewife Bathes Husband With Hot Oil

A married woman, Mrs Hope Nwala, has reportedly bathed her husband, Ekelediri Nwankwo, with steaming hot groundnut oil in Okehi community, Etche council area of Rivers state, following what appears to be a domestic dispute.

The development is contained in a report filed by OgoniTv, an online news medium on Wednesday.

According to the report, trouble began when Ekelediri reportedly cautioned his sister-in-law over her attitude of occupying the matrimonial bed which he shares with his wife.

However, his wife, a native of Obite, took side with her sister for reasons best known to her, even though her husband suspected that his wife was using her sister as a front for her extra marital affairs.

Ekelediri, now receiving medical attention, disclosed that his sister-in-law's recalcitrant attitude degenerated so badly that he had to give her some money as transport fare just so that she would go back to her village.

In her reaction, his wife poured hot scalding ground nut oil him while he was asleep.

As if that was not harmful enough, she also pummelled him with hammer blows even as he reels in painful pangs from the hot oil.  

"I have told my wife's younger sister to leave my house because of the way she has started dressing, and the way she occupy my matrimonial bed even when I am around. No young guy will tolerate such behaviour. But my wife has refused the younger sister to leave the house. 

“I also saw my wife alone with one tall black guy in the shop I rented for her. Not that he is in for business. He followed my wife and sister here and there. With all these, I gave that her younger sister two thousand naira transport fare to go home so that I can actually understand what is going on in my house. But my wife got upset. While I went to bed to sleep, she used boiled groundnut oil on me, then started hitting me with hammer," Ekelediri explained.
