Big trouble as wife catches husband sleeping with mum

Trouble is rocking a family in Nasarawa State following claims by a housewife that her husband cheated on her by sleeping with her mother.

Doris (surname withheld) said the lid on the secret affair between her 46-year-old husband and her mother was blown open by her six-year-old son.

Curiously, Doris’s mother, Madam Cynthia (surname withheld), did not deny the alleged romance between her and her son-in-law when her daughter confronted her with the allegation.

Rather, she told her daughter that she was in a relationship with her son-in-law (her daughter’s husband), Joseph, before they got married, and it was the best romance opportunity she had 20 years after she lost her husband.

Madam Cynthia said: “My husband died about 20 years ago, and I never found another man of my dream until I met Joseph.

“He is a kind and generous gentleman. He is also very strong and very good in bed.

“He gave me the most satisfaction I ever had with a man in bed. Because of that, I did not want to lose his company, so I recommended him to you (Doris).

“I insisted that he must get married to you so you could have a taste of what he is made of.”

Doris, 28, had got married to Joseph, a sales manager with a private company, oblivious of the fact that he and her mother were dating.

As it later turned out, it was Madam Cynthia that actually persuaded Joseph to marry her daughter (Doris), who at that time was based in Keffi as a student of Nasarawa State University.

Since Doris was not visiting Lafia regularly, she had no idea how intimate her mother and Joseph were.

To worsen matters, Doris was not coming to Lafia most times her school was on holiday as she chose to take up some casual jobs in Keffi despite that her mother was running a big restaurant in Lafia where Joseph got to know her.

It was gathered that Joseph’s affair with Madam Cynthia was so discreet that it was difficult for any observer to know what was going on between them.

Joseph was said to be in the habit of closing late in the office, after which he would wait for Madam Cynthia at his Lafia apartment after closing her restaurant.

The bubble burst on January 18 when Madam Cynthia visited her daughter’s matrimonial home in New Nyanyan, Karu Local Government Area, Nasarawa State. Joseph was said to have moved to Nyanyan for the sake of proximity to his wife for whom he had secured a civil service job in Abuja.

As it was customary between them, Joseph and his mother-in-law (Cynthia) decided to engage in fresh sessions of romance during the visit. Unfortunately, their six-year-old son ran into them in one of the sessions and later let the cat out of the bag.

Distraught Doris, who narrated the incident to a close friend of hers in a recorded telephone voice, said: “I met my husband through my mother in Lafia in 2018.

“I had just completed my NYSC (national youth service) and she introduced him to me as someone who was very good and generous, and would never maltreat me.

“Looking at Joseph, although he was not too young, he actually appeared gentle and promising.

“He would come to my mother’s restaurant every evening after close of work, but I never suspected that he was also going out with my mother.

“She actually hid her main reason for linking the two of us together. My mother did not want my husband to get married to another woman basically because of his sexual prowess and kindness.

“To my admiration, Joseph actually showed commitment, making sure that all my needs were met even without me asking.

“Within a short time, he proved to me that he was actually a good man in addition to what my mother told me.

“We eventually got married in 2018, and two years later, we relocated to New Nyanyan because he had secured a civil service job for me in Abuja and also opened a salon for me.

“I have three kids and I am presently four months pregnant.

“My mother, a very careful woman, had told me after my marriage that she felt fulfilled that I got married to Joseph.

“She was always coming on visits, and would always ask whether I was enjoying my marriage. And I truly was enjoying it, because my husband did make life easy for me and my kids.

“She was always calling or visiting, and I thought it was because I am her only child.

“When I gave birth to my first son, she was very excited and often came to help out with house chores.

“She was always taking care of my kids who she loves so much. It was as if she was living together with us.

“We live in a three-bedroom apartment, so there was enough space for her to stay for as long as she wanted.

“On January 13, my mother came around and it coincided with the time my husband took a week off to rest at home.

“It never occurred to me that my husband’s one week rest was tactically planned to coincide with my mother’s coming.

“The setting in my matrimonial home was the best for them because of the kids. They took care of the kids while I went to work, but I did not know that they were also taking care of themselves.

“My mum loves a particular brand of alcohol while my husband also likes a brand of wine, which he always ensured was in the refrigerator.

“So while I was away to work and the kids had gone to school, they kept each other company with their drinks. It never occurred to me that their relationship was beyond mother in-law and son in-law.

“On Thursday, January 18, I returned from work and my eldest son came into my room as I was pulling off my dress.

“He looked worried and confused, so I asked whether his aunty beat him in school or he was not given food, but he said nothing.

“When I prodded him further, he told me that he saw his father and grandmother fighting naked in the visitor’s room and grandma was crying while daddy was on top of her.

READ ALSO:

“I asked how he got to know, and he said that when he returned from school, grandma bathed him and he slept off after eating because he was tired.

“He said that when he woke up, he went to check on grandma (Madam Cynthia) in her room and found that she and her father were fighting naked and grandma was crying under him.

“Obviously, they did not lock the door.

“He said his father ordered him to go out immediately.

“Although I was shocked at the revelation, I managed to control my anger and inquire to know more of what went wrong in my absence.

‘No successor-predecessor crisis in Nasarawa’
“My son’s claims were actually not unexpected because of my mother’s constant visit to us and her unusual closeness to my husband.

“They were so close and were always in the sitting room together.

“But another thought came into my mind: the two of them had known each other before I came in, and I actually met my husband through my mother.

“I walked swiftly across the house and into my mother’s room and asked if there was something going on between her and my husband.

“She could not deny the allegation and that caused me to start shedding tears. I just did not know where the tears were coming from.

“My mother calmed me down and narrated the story of her relationship with Joseph and why she insisted that I should marry him.

“She said she got hooked on my husband because he was very good in bed in addition to his good nature. In fact, he described my husband as a Maradona in bed.

“She said that every woman would like such a man and she did not want me to miss out on him because those are the traits that sustain marriages.

“She said she would have felt cheated if Danjuma had married another woman, and that was why she persuaded me to marry him.

“She actually believed she was doing the best for me.

“Yes, the bible says honour thy father and mother, but what do you do with a mother who didn’t even honour her daughter’s wedding vows?

“Before I could say anything, she knelt down and said she was sorry I found out about their relationship the way I did, but she was not sorry she got both of us together.

“She said I should be grateful for our stable home and healthy children, adding that she did what she did because she was hungry for sex, particularly with Joseph.

“My mother confessed that on that particular day, they were together in the parlour when she suddenly grabbed Joseph and dragged him into her room.

READ ALSO:

“She said there was a flurry of actions without words. Unfortunately, my eldest son came in while they were in the thick of action.”

Doris further told her friend that she never suspected that there was any relationship between her husband and her mother, wondering how they were able to keep it secret for so many years and now leave her to grapple with the nightmare induced by their sacrilegious act.

She said: “I couldn’t send my mother away because the children genuinely love her and she is a good grandmother.

“I used to be happy and grateful to her for giving me a husband that understands how to keep a woman.

“My husband is indeed very good in bed, and I thank my mother for bringing him into my life. But she should not have insisted on sharing him with me.”

She told her friend in the recorded telephone conversation that she has enjoyed life the most since she got married to Joseph.

She said: “I like him because he asks me out, opens the door for me, pours me drink, offers me his jacket, kisses me and says good night. So I need to be his wife all the days of my life.

“His libido is very active. His weak point is his nipples. Once you suck them, he becomes like a lion ready to devour its prey.

“He is someone that can take me on for as long as I want. His sexual prowess is not in doubt. But my mother is not allowing me to enjoy my man alone.

“How can my husband be sleeping with me and my mother? It is wrong, shameful and abominable. I am in distress and I don’t know how to handle the matter.

“It would have been better for my husband to get a girlfriend than sleep with me and my mum.

“It is very shameful and an abomination of the highest order. It is wrong of her and it will be very shameful if people get to know about it.

“When I left my mum in her room and went back to my room wondering on how to approach my husband on his return, I’m sure my mother had informed him about my approach to her.

“So when he returned to the house, he looked calm and guilt was written all over him.

“When I finally asked him about his affair with my mum, he tried to adjourn the discussion to a later date, but I insisted.

“He then sat me down and narrated how he had known my mother while I was away in school, and it was through their relationship that my mother nursed the idea of connecting us for marriage.

“Having monitored my attitude, she strongly believed that I could give her daughter the desired comfort. So whatever has happened now was not planned. Let me call it a devilish act.

“He confirmed to me that the only mistake he made was to have succumbed to the pressure from my mum. He really apologised and pleaded with me not to take it to heart no matter the level of anger.

“Although I am still grappling with this nightmare in my life, I have to control my emotions as I don’t want to leave my marriage because of this terrible thing.

“I can’t also stop my mum from visiting us. She loves my children and cares so much about them, and I’m her only daughter.”

Doris explained that both her husband and her mother regretted what happened, saying that it was not meant to hurt her but was done out of emotions from past memories.

“I don’t actually know what to do, though my husband has been begging me to forgive and forget.

“My sickness currently is from the mind. I’m so confused. The emotional pains are too much for me to bear.”

Her friend has, however, advised her to let go of the matter, forgive and forget.

“Please, don’t react angrily. It is not a matter for public consumption.

“Don’t let your marriage crash because of this abominable act.

“Think of your kids and swallow it because of them,” she said.

Suspended Archbishop Ibezim Drags Anglican Primate to Court, Challenges Six-Month Leave

Most Reverend Alexander Chibuzo Ibezim

Suspended Archbishop Ibezim Drags Anglican Primate to Court, Challenges Six-Month Leave

The suspended Archbishop of the Province of the Niger and Bishop of the Diocese of Awka, Most Reverend Alexander Chibuzo Ibezim, has sued the Primate of the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Most Reverend Henry C. Ndukuba, and the church’s Dean, Most Reverend Blessing Enyindah, seeking to stop further disciplinary action against him without compliance with the church’s constitution and canons.

Ibezim filed the suit at the Anambra State High Court in Awka, challenging the procedure adopted by the church leadership in investigating allegations involving his administration of the Diocese of Awka.

The case, marked A/371/2026, was instituted through an originating summons dated October 13, 2026, with a separate application seeking an interlocutory injunction against the defendants.

The Archbishop wants the court to determine the legal procedures governing disciplinary action against a serving bishop or archbishop under the Constitution and Canons of the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion).

He is specifically asking the court to restrain Ndukuba and Enyindah from issuing or implementing measures to suspend, remove, retire or dismiss him from his ecclesiastical offices while the substantive suit is pending.

READ ALSO:

Ibezim also wants the court to prevent the two church leaders from further threatening his removal or interfering in the affairs of the Diocese of Awka without his written consent.

The legal action follows the Primate’s directive that Ibezim proceed on six months’ compulsory leave with immediate effect while investigations into developments in the diocese continue.

In a letter dated October 13, Ndukuba said the decision was intended to allow a fair investigation and create an opportunity for peace and reconciliation within the diocese. He cited Section 29(1) of Chapter V of the church’s 2020 Constitution and Canons as the basis for the administrative measure.

The directive also barred Ibezim from officiating at activities of the Church of Nigeria, the Province of the Niger and the Diocese of Awka during the period.

Ndukuba appointed the Bishop of Aguata Diocese, The Right Reverend Samuel Ezeofor, as Supervising Bishop of the Diocese of Awka and Coordinating Bishop of the Province of the Niger during Ibezim’s absence. The Archbishop was instructed to hand over his responsibilities to Ezeofor.

The Primate maintained that the compulsory leave was an administrative step rather than a disciplinary sanction.

However, Ibezim’s court action challenges the authority and procedure for imposing disciplinary measures on a serving bishop, arguing that the church’s governing provisions must be followed.

In his originating summons, he cited Sections 55, 75 and 76 of the church’s constitution, alongside relevant provisions of Canon XVI, as the legal framework governing disciplinary proceedings against bishops and archbishops.

He is asking the court to determine whether the Primate can unilaterally impose disciplinary sanctions without following the procedures prescribed by those provisions.

The Archbishop has also challenged the composition of a visitation team established to investigate developments in the Diocese of Awka. The team, chaired by Enyindah, was constituted through a letter dated June 17, 2026.

Ibezim described the team’s constitution as unlawful, a claim that remains for the court to determine.

The dispute has also been linked to allegations that church land valued at more than ₦2 billion was sold without proper authorisation. Reports said the matter prompted a petition to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

However, the Primate’s letter directing Ibezim to proceed on leave did not specify the precise allegations against him or detail the findings of the visitation team.

The Archbishop’s lawsuit therefore raises questions about both the investigation process and the extent of the church leadership’s authority to impose administrative restrictions or disciplinary measures on a serving bishop.

The case comes amid growing tensions over the administration of the Awka Diocese, including the reported removal of the diocese’s former chancellor, retired Justice O.J. Okeke, by Ibezim.

The court’s eventual decision could clarify the interpretation of the church’s internal disciplinary rules and determine whether the challenged procedures complied with its governing constitution and canons.

As of the latest reports, the court had yet to determine the substantive questions raised in the suit or grant the final reliefs sought by the Archbishop. The allegations concerning the church land and the legality of the visitation team also remain unresolved.

The legal proceedings will determine the parties’ respective rights and obligations under the church’s governing provisions and applicable law.

DSS Arrests Maina’s Fugitive Son in Abuja After Six Years on the Run

DSS Arrests Maina’s Fugitive Son in Abuja After Six Years on the Run

The Department of State Services (DSS) has arrested Faisal Abdulrasheed Maina, son of former Pension Reform Task Team (PRTT) chairman Abdulrasheed Maina, in Abuja and handed him over to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to enforce his outstanding conviction for money laundering.

Faisal was reportedly arrested in the Karsana area of the Federal Capital Territory after security operatives received intelligence indicating that he had secretly returned to Nigeria.

Security sources disclosed that the DSS tracked and apprehended him before transferring him to the EFCC, which had prosecuted him over financial crimes.

His arrest, reported on Friday and Saturday, October 16 and 17, 2026, brings a fresh development to a case that has remained unresolved since he allegedly fled the country in 2020 after being granted bail.

Faisal had faced a three-count charge bordering on money laundering and conspiracy brought by the EFCC. His trial continued in his absence after he reportedly breached his bail conditions and left Nigeria.

In October 2021, the Federal High Court in Abuja convicted him on the money-laundering charges and sentenced him to 14 years’ imprisonment.

READ ALSO:

The trial judge, Justice Okon Abang, held that the EFCC had established that Faisal operated a fictitious account with United Bank for Africa (UBA), through which his father allegedly laundered N58.1 million.

The court found that the money was deposited into an account operated in the name of Alhaji Faisal Farm 2 and withdrawn by Faisal and his father between October 2013 and June 2019.

In November 2022, the Court of Appeal upheld Faisal’s conviction but reduced his prison sentence from 14 years to seven years. The appellate court ruled that the trial court should not have imposed the maximum sentence on a first-time offender.

The court had also ordered that Faisal be arrested wherever he was found in Nigeria and taken into custody to serve his sentence. It further directed the Federal Government to take lawful steps to secure his extradition if he was found outside the country.

His transfer to the EFCC is expected to facilitate the implementation of the court’s judgment and the enforcement of the outstanding prison sentence.

The arrest also comes amid renewed legal troubles involving his father, Abdulrasheed Maina, who formerly headed the now-defunct PRTT.

The elder Maina was convicted in a separate pension-fund fraud case and served an eight-year prison sentence at the Kuje Correctional Centre in Abuja before his release earlier in 2026.

He was subsequently declared wanted by the EFCC over an alleged case involving the receipt of stolen property.

The EFCC’s actions against both father and son stem from separate legal proceedings, and the allegations in the elder Maina’s latest case remain distinct from Faisal’s existing conviction.

Faisal’s arrest is expected to allow the relevant authorities to take further steps in enforcing the court order after years of his absence from the country.

The DSS and EFCC had not publicly provided further details about the next steps following the reported transfer at the time of publication.

NAPTIP Raises Alarm as Parents Allegedly Trade Children for Sex, Arrests Woman in Abuja

NAPTIP's Director-General, Binta Adamu Bello

NAPTIP Raises Alarm as Parents Allegedly Trade Children for Sex, Arrests Woman in Abuja

The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) has raised the alarm over allegations that some parents and guardians are facilitating the sexual exploitation of children for money, warning that anyone found culpable will face prosecution.

The warning followed the arrest of a middle-aged woman in Abuja over allegations that she offered her teenage daughter to men for sexual gratification in exchange for money.

NAPTIP’s Director-General, Binta Adamu Bello, expressed concern over the reported cases, describing the alleged involvement of parents in the sexual exploitation of their children as a grave betrayal of their responsibility to protect them.

Bello issued the warning in Abuja on Friday, October 16, 2026, amid concerns about child sexual abuse, trafficking and exploitation in Nigeria.

The agency has not publicly disclosed the identities of the suspect or the alleged victim. Details of the alleged transactions, the number of people involved and the status of the investigation have also not been fully disclosed.

The Director-General said reports received at NAPTIP’s headquarters and commands across the country suggested that cases of parents allegedly facilitating the sexual abuse of their children for financial benefits could be increasing. However, the agency has not released figures establishing the scale of the reported cases.

READ ALSO:

She warned that the sexual exploitation of children could cause lasting physical and psychological harm, undermine their well-being and expose them to serious health risks.

Bello stressed that parents and guardians should be protectors of children rather than facilitators of abuse, adding that no financial reward could justify the exploitation of a minor.

She said NAPTIP had strengthened its monitoring and enforcement mechanisms and was working with other law enforcement agencies and relevant partners to investigate reports of child abuse and prosecute suspects where sufficient evidence exists.

The agency has also directed its commands nationwide to intensify surveillance, improve rapid-response mechanisms and ensure that reports involving child abuse and sexual exploitation receive appropriate attention.

Bello maintained that anyone found to have facilitated the sexual exploitation of a child would be held accountable in accordance with the law.

The NAPTIP chief also urged parents to exercise greater vigilance over people who have access to their children, particularly when they are away from home.

She advised families to conduct proper background checks on domestic workers, drivers, gardeners, gatekeepers, school-run operators and other service providers who may interact with children as part of their daily duties.

According to the agency, safeguarding children requires parents and guardians to take reports of suspicious behaviour seriously and establish appropriate measures to prevent abuse.

The warning comes amid wider concerns over human trafficking and child exploitation in Nigeria.

On September 1, 2026, reports indicated that NAPTIP had rescued more than 180 trafficked children across five states following investigations into suspected trafficking networks.

Some suspects allegedly posed as representatives of civil society organisations and approached families in vulnerable communities with promises of educational assistance and back-to-school support before taking their children away.

One reported case involved three children allegedly taken from a parent in Kajuru, Kaduna State, and later recovered from a private building in Onitsha, Anambra State.

Other children were reportedly recovered during investigations into suspected trafficking activities involving locations in Benue and Nasarawa states, Abuja and other areas.

The agency also reported cases in which children were allegedly moved between locations and placed in orphanages under circumstances investigators suspected involved trafficking and unlawful transactions.

These cases are separate from the Abuja sexual-exploitation allegations but highlight the different methods through which children can be exposed to abuse, trafficking and financial exploitation.

NAPTIP has urged members of the public to report suspected cases of child abuse and trafficking and cooperate with investigations aimed at protecting vulnerable children.

The agency reiterated its commitment to investigating allegations, rescuing victims and prosecuting suspected offenders where the evidence supports criminal charges.

The allegations against the woman arrested in Abuja have not been established in court. The outcome of the investigation will determine whether charges can be sustained against her or any other person suspected of involvement.

NAPTIP warned that parents and guardians who facilitate the sexual exploitation of children could face legal consequences if found guilty, stressing that protecting children must remain a shared responsibility of families, communities and relevant authorities.
