The Bayelsa State Police Command has arrested a housewife and her friends for allegedly assaulting a 23-year-old girl suspected to be her husband’s mistress. Checks indicated that the woman and her friends were on the trail of the husband, who is a driver with the state Government and caught up with him at a bar in Okaka, while he was with the lady. The owner of the bar was said to have tipped off the housewife, who contacted her friends and they traced her husband to Okaka.
According to eye-witness account, as soon as the woman and her friends spotted the man and her lover, they descended on her with heavy slaps and eventually stripped her naked.
“They were shameless and when they saw she was in her monthly period, they took out their phones and started taking pictures. They asked the girl to be dancing while they took shots of her,” said a witness.
Many residents of the area and passers-by who heard the women shouting were attracted to the scene and the Police patrol team on getting to the area stopped and made some arrests.
Though the man was said to have fled the area immediately he sighted his wife, his alleged lover is said to be furious and wants to file assault charges against those who beat her.
