A rare scene was witnessed on Friday afternoon at Nyamagwa in Kisii County after an elderly man stripped naked and threatened to curse his wife who he accused of deserting him.
The elderly man who was identified as Henry Oseko said he had been living in peace with his wife Evelyn Mong’ina for the last 12 years, until recently when she deserted him because he was poor.
“I married Mong’ina 12 years ago. She has abandoned me on grounds that I’m poor. She has until the end of February to return home failure to which I will curse her and commit suicide, “said Oseko.
Oseko alleged that the wife had been selling family property and sending the money received to her relatives.
“She was selling family property and sending the money to her brothers and sisters. Now that all my property is gone she has abandoned me. She will not know peace if I die because of her,” he added.
Another elderly man from the area, Thomas Mboya said that villagers are still in shock after Mong’ina abandoned Oseko.
“No one could think the couple will separate. We are in shock. If Mong’ina doesn’t return home, she will have a troubled life if cursed,” said Mboya.
