An aggrieved woman who accused her husband of infidelity went on
a rampage and destroyed his café in Ukunda, Kwale County, Kenya in a fit
of fury.
On Saturday morning Mrs. Ruth Nyaga, accompanied with her friend,
stormed her husband’s restaurant situated at Kona Ya Chafu area and
started throwing tables and chairs, bottles in the air – and any other
object of value that came to sight, forcing dining customers to flee for
safety.
Mrs Nyaga said her husband, who is also a pastor, has abdicated his
responsibilities, adding that she is now demanding that her husband of
20 years does the honourable thing and introduces his lover formally if
he has intentions of marrying her.
“I inquired from my husband if he had completed putting up the
cafeteria. He was shocked that I knew of his secret investment. Angry at
me, he questioned who informed me about his underground project,” the
aggrieved woman told eDaily.
Ms Nyaga told Citizen Digital that her husband has been using proceeds
from the café for the upkeep of the woman and has even built her the
business.
“If only my husband had informed me of his clandestine activities, I
would not have resorted to doing what I did. I would have warmly
welcomed his second wife,” added Mrs. Nyaga.
“Marrying a second wife is not a problem, but he should come with that
woman and tell me this is my second wife,” Mrs Nyaga added.
On his part, the unapologetic pastor at New Apostolic Faith Church said
that his culture allows him to marry up to four women, noting that he
had done nothing wrong.
“I am from the Tharaka community so I can marry up to four wives, even your dad has two wives,” he said.
As the couple went through the embarrassing public show, petty thieves
were taking advantage of the situation to make away with whatever they
could lay their hands on.
Mrs. Nyaga also accused her husband of “enslaving” their son at the
hotel – only for the proceeds to benefit the other woman.
“He took my son and employed him as a handyman. He recently fired him,
claiming that the boy stole KSh500 from the hotel. I am very bitter at
him (husband). We have three children together. The first born is 20,
the second born is 14 and the last born is 10.”
A member of the church where the pastor ministers said that it was
unfortunate that their leader who should be showing them a good example
was involved in such a case
“He is the pastor at New Apostolic Faith Church and should be showing us a good example,” she said.
An eye witness described the scene as embarrassing, adding that the
man’s life was in danger because both women showed up with knives,
adding that the couple could have settled the dispute at home instead of
such a public show.
“To tell you the truth we men have more than one woman, but they should have settled the dispute in their own home,” he said.
