He narrated how his wife had expressed joy over the news and how he had given her money to buy gifts for her family and friends according to their culture.
In an interview with DailyTrust, he said:
“Since the time I told her about my plan to marry another wife, I did not see any change of attitude from her and we had been living together peacefully.
In fact, she promised me that she would be among those that would buy the wedding items for the bride. Last night after I returned home, I bought some meat for them.
I met her boiling the water, but I had no idea what she was going to use it for. I was relaxing, when she suddenly brought the hot water and poured it around my private part.”
