A couple have been rendered homeless after they set their house on fire following a vicious fight between them over sex…or the lack of it.
The man had opted five years ago to live in a different hut from his wife who had given him five children as a way or form of birth control I guess. Over the festive season, the couple decided to make merry with close friends in the village. As expected, the party raised her hormonal hyperactivity and neighbors could hear her drunkenly beseeching her husband to let her into his hut for a good time. Ranting and raving that it had been up to five long years of ‘starvation’, that she wanted her conjugal rights.
Despite the appeal, the man forced her out of his house saying he could not stand the sight of a crying baby. In an attempt to blackmail him into her bed, the wife torched his hut with the husband just managing to secure a few of his belongings.
The man angered by his wife’s actions, instead of going to her hut, decided to strike back and in return torched her hut leaving them both homeless. The traditional ruler of the community has said that this is a situation of intentional destruction of assets and vowed to take action against the couple.
Their children have been taken in by close relatives.
