The woman’s husband, name given simply as Ekanem, a fisherman, said though he got signals that Elder Ndarake, a married man with five children, always visited his house whenever he was away on his fishing trips which sometimes lasted weeks, he never suspected that he could have amorous relationship with his wife and mother of seven children.
“He stood in for me during the traditional marriage as I lost my father at an early age.
“As such, coming to my house even in my absence, I never suspected anything because apart from his closeness to me, he is an elder in our local church and always preached against immorality.
“Even when people told me that he went to my house at odd hours when I am not around, I still believed he went there to see to the welfare of my family.
“I thought our village had been attacked by our neighbours in Cross River state, so I hurried home, only to meet Elder Ndarake in the full view of people, naked and stuck inside my wife’s private part.
“If not for people that restrained me, I would have macheted him to death because I was very angry.
“Though people said I placed Mbiam (powerful traditional charm) on my wife, I did not do such thing. It was our gods that wanted to disgrace them.
“They were later disentangled after some sacrifices by a local native doctor but I have handed over my wife to him. I don’t want her again,” Ekanem narrated.
