People around me always told me about my wife’s immoral movements and waywardness; but I did not believe them because of the lack of proof.
``In 2008, my wife said she was travelling to Kogi to see her sick mother, but after leaving home, I got a call that she was at a party in a hotel at Ikeja, provocatively dressed.
