For allegedly hitting the husband of the woman he was harbouring in his house with a pestle on the forehead, a man, Ike Bassey, 32 has been arrested by the police at Adekunle Station and arraigned before the Sabo Magistrate’s Court, Yaba, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria.
The accused was alleged to have attacked Okpe Oye Eleanya with a pestle in his house on 10, Apollo Street, Makoko, Adekunle, Yaba, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria during a fight. Trouble started, according to police investigation, when Eleanya who lives in Abia State, traced his wife and two children to Bassey’s home in Yaba and challenged him for harbouring his wife knowing that she was married to him. Fighting broke out and Bassey picked up a pestle and hit Eleanya on the forehead. The latter, it was gathered, collapsed and was rushed to the Military Hospital, Yaba, by sympathisers with blood gushing out from his head. Bassey was arrested and taken to the station from where he was taken to court. In his statement to the police, Eleanya disclosed that he travelled to his home town in Abia State with his wife and two kids for the Christmas but his wife later abandoned him in the village and ran back to Lagos with the children. Eleanya revealed that when he learnt that she was living with his friend in Yaba, he came back to Lagos and met her inside Bassey’s room. He accused Bassey of snatching his wife and children and fighting started. The accused was docked on a one-count charge of assault, occasioning grievious harm, an offence punishable under Section 335 of the Criminal Code, C.17, Vol.11, Laws of Lagos State of Nigeria, 2003. The accused pleaded not guilty to the charge and the presiding magistrate, A.M. Fusika, granted him bail in the sum of N50,000 with two sureties in like sum and adjourned the matter till 2 March, 2011. The accused was remanded in prison when he could not fulfil the conditions attached to his bail. —Paul Iyoghojie (PM News)

Why didn't the man called his friend to notify him about his wife and children running to stay in his house and since he kept it a secret then he is digging something are you sure he is not sleeping with that woman when the kids must be fast sleeping at night...women are all bitches and if not for kids why would i marry them self.
women contributes to the early death of 80 percent of men in this world and hard it been that the man was dead after the hit of the Pestle and the other man goes to jail while the woman start sleeping with different men
then two friends are gone for just a common bitch
women women women...how many time did i called you ? this is not fair .. this is not fair OOHH

I want to believe there's more to this story....a woman can't just abandon her husband and run to live with another man with her husband's kids......there must be something they're not revealing....
