An 80-year-old man has reportedly served divorce papers to his 70-year-old wife in Abia State.
Human rights activist, Ochiegbu Marvelous, who intervened in the matter, said the man also got the woman arrested after accusing her of attempting to poison him five years ago.
According to Ochiegbu, the man sold his 20 plots of land to deal with his wife and when his son confronted him, he included the son’s name on the petition calling him a “kidnapper.”
“80-year old man from my village served his wife, 70yrs old divorce papers last week from a high court in Abia. Their first son is in his 40’s,” he wrote.
Yesterday I and my team secured the release of the said wife (Mama) from state SCIID who he arrested alleging that she attempted to poison him 5years ago.
“I don’t really know the person engineering this but am disappointed. Some of My village people and case na 5 and 6.”
“I heard he sold his 20 plots of land to show his wife pepper and when his son confronted him, fiam! He included his name on the petition too as a kidnapper.”
“Thank God for the trained and professional officers at State Sciid Abia State Police Command.”
“80year Old man divorcing 70yrs old wife. Funny old man, the worst is that someone prepared the papers.”
