Mother of three confessed to adultery with their pastor in Makurdi

Tertsea stated this during his defense in a divorce case brought against him by his wife before a Makurdi Upper Area Court.

“I have never beaten my wife or accused her of adultery; it is my wife that admitted before our NKST Church Committee that she has committed adultery with a pastor of the church.

“I have not accused my wife of having an affair; but she has confessed to having an affair with the Reverend (name withheld).

“In 2007, she confessed to having an intimate affair with the pastor when the church committee took up the matter. I have the evidence with me written in Tiv language.

“Though the committee could not give an appropriate resolution, we appealed to the General Synod, where a resolution was passed.”

He denied ever beating his wife, and claimed that she left his house with the approval of her father.

Tertsea said that he was not opposed to divorce, adding that he was also not opposed to his wife having full access to their three kids.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Mrs. Wandoo Daagu had petitioned the court to dissolve the marriage, citing alleged brutality and “unnecessary” accusations of infidelity.

Wandoo, who said that she married her husband according to the Tiv Native Laws and Customs at Amua, Gaav, in Konshisha Local Government Area in 2000, told the court that there was no longer love between them.

“We have three children; after nursing our last daughter, my husband started accusing me of being unfaithful.

“He kept attacking me and would beat me up at the slightest provocation.

“I reported this cruelty to his parents, but instead of intervening, they took sides with him,” she said.

Wandoo said that she left Tertsea ’s house in 2008 when the cruelty became unbearable.

“Since I left his house, my husband has never visited me or my parents to discuss our issue. He has no respect for my parents,” she said.

She urged the court to dissolve the marriage and grant her full access to their three children.

The Judge, Ms Adole Akintomide, has adjourned the case to December 14 for judgment.
