An unusual domestic saga has unfolded in Abia State, where an 80-year-old man allegedly served his wife divorce papers, sparking outrage and disbelief within the local community.

The incident was brought to public attention by Ochiegbu Marvelous, a human rights advocate on Facebook, who intervened after the 70-year-old woman was reportedly detained by the police on the orders of her husband.

According to Marvelous, the man accused his wife of attempting to poison him five years ago, and used the allegation to have her taken into custody.


In a post shared on social media, Marvelous narrated the bizarre sequence of events:

“80-year-old man from my village served his wife of 70 years divorce papers last week from the high court in Abia. Their first son is in his 40s.”

He revealed that he and his team were able to secure the woman’s release from the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID) in Abia State.

Marvelous further alleged that the man sold off 20 plots of land in an apparent effort to “show his wife pepper.” Matters escalated when their son challenged his father over the situation, only for the father to allegedly include his son’s name in a petition, labelling him a kidnapper.

“I don’t really know the person engineering this, but I’m disappointed.
Accusing someone with no questionable character of being a kidnapper is just too much,” Marvelous wrote.

He praised officers at the State SCIID for their professionalism and swift handling of the case, saying they kept his team well-informed throughout the ordeal.

Oh!! Old ages palaba, most worst ever!

This man his make his little time he has left on earth comfortable.

At 80, this should not be his idea of living a peaceful life until God calls him home

Imagine. She didn't poison you in over 40 years of marriage, it's when you're both quarter to the grave that you decide she wants to kill you? Imagine selling off your children's inheritance all because of alleged poisoning. A fool at 40 is a fool forever, then what of a fool at 80? Baba should say the truth.

Na wa o

It seems this marvellous guy knows the woman better than her husband does. How does he know she has no questionable character? There's no smoke without fire.

The 70 years old wife must have been a good mother to his son but a bad and terrible wife to the husband,, knowing fully well he is close to his grave at 80 years, he decided to sell of most of his assets they could inherit.. so no inheritance when he's dead and gone

*Hide thread make Commentor nor see our WICKEDNESS here and laff IPOBIDIENTS

COMRADES are speechless, I think at this age forgiveness is the key, at 80 you're still afraid to leave this world, is it not SHAMEFUL?

His children thought they were smart now d old man Don teach them a bitter lesson

Till Death Do Us Part

Na the true definition be that couple😁

We are all here assuming the man is in his right mind. Recall that Nigeria is, after all, a place where people would rather drink agbo and subscribe to denial than treat a medical condition head-on.

Old age. Ever had an old grandparent? You will understand. They're very dramatic, troublesome. Especially those that were hot headed when they were young

I guess evil doesn't have age limit...

➜Old age. Ever had an old grandparent? You will understand.
➜ They're very dramatic, troublesome.

Is my old grandparent not a human being whose rights should be respected or something?

2. Young people have a right to be dramatic, but older grandparents don't have the right to be? What are you even saying,g abeg?

3. A young person who has been hit in the head is allowed to be dramatic, but not an old grandparent? What is this?

Papa fit don Dey run one young side chick for outside ,,,.but why na .,,this is just crazy and funny at the same time

Lackadaisical attitude exists in the family

🥺

The senior is obviously senile and needs help.

Since we’re all speculating, let’s include this:

Maybe the family thinks the father has lived his life and should leave the lands for his children, but man thinks he still got some gas left in the tank and wants to keep going with some “hot” widow or maybe some secret family somewhere, so wife wanted to “intervene” on behalf of her children

No name was mentioned I smell that this could just be another attention seeking write up

Na now dem go poison am spiritually
