Embattled husband, John Edobor continues his narrative of events that resulted in the raging family mess that has seen his estranged wife spearheading a campaign that has resulted in the loss of his job and sees him looking at prison term – if care is not taken.
Here links for background on initial reports –
His food and drink untouched ..and same for all the others at the table, safe for small sip his sister had taken from her water, John continued with is narration of his meeting with Cynthia – one of those is wife is heavily indebted to for yet to decipher reasons
‘’When myself and Cynthia met and Cynthia told me how Ivie is the actually owing her and the interest accrued, as we speak now, i spoke with Cynthia four days ago and she told me Ivie is still owing her N900,000. I can give you Cynthia’s number to call her because i told her if she could speak on this matter and she said fine..i can give you Amaka’s number because this same Amaka is the person i borrowed money from, that i even gave to…’’
‘’When this debt issue started threatening the peace of the house, what did you do?’’ I cut in
A slight pause and he responded ‘’ when i noticed the peace was threatened and even there was an incident that happened when she was taking by friend to school as well, one of those people that she was owing came to block her on the way and wanted to collect the car from her…
‘’What’s the make of the car?’’ i wanted to know
‘’It’s a skoda’’ he responded and continued ‘’ she was accosted on the way and my kids where traumatised. And when i noticed all these, i said i cannot leave this children like this and i said Ivie they don’t know your father’s house…they do not know this place and i wouldn’t want a situation that i am at work and i get another report about you and this place, the best bet is for you to relocate to your father’s house pending when we talk to some of these persons to be patient with us while we sort out these debts’’
‘’And she agreed?’’ i asked
‘’Yes she agreed’’ he responded emphatically
‘’You are saying it was a mutual decision?’’ i rephrased.
‘’Yes’’ he insisted
‘’But she said you sent her packing’’ i threw his wife’s allegation at him
‘’you see all these stories she is telling, at times i hear some of these stories and i just feel embarrassed’’ he stated simply.
‘’So you it wasn’t because of the debt that you sent her packing?’’ i asked.
‘’No’’ ‘’No’’ he started saying even before i finished the question and went on ‘’i was actually protecting the life of her children and her life..even when she left, Ivie and i kept seeing every weekend. She comes to pick me from work and we go home together, she stays till Sunday
‘’so when she left and finally came and pack her things, i took up some of the payments..i had to settle Amaka, settle Vivian, settle victor’s wife..my uncle’s own, settle cosmos ..settle all those people that i could settle’’
‘’Like how much was this?’’ i asked.
‘’The total them was about N5millio that i settled’’ he disclosed
‘’She stayed with her dad for like how long?’’ i proded.
‘’She was with her dad from November 2014 till appeal 2016’’ He responded.
‘’So, how did you stayed married in quote during this period, because she claimed she stayed away from you during all this period’’ i asked
‘’That is not true’’ he responded with heat and declared ‘’Ivie was pregnant, if we were not seeing how did she become pregnant? I have the result of the tests..’’ he stated.
‘’But how did she become pregnant?’’ i threw his question back at him.
‘’Because we were seeing and we were sleeping’’ he stated flatly. But there was something about his tone, a reproving hint that he had to say that much to back up his claims.
I let it slide…i wasn’t there to judge.
‘’She comes every weekend , because of the area where we stay..’’ he started, then diverted his talks against ‘’look she actually looked and secured the place where i stay in Yaba, She was the one that got the place….
I Cut him off with a question of my own ‘’ before that, when she was coming to see on weekends in Ajah does she come alone or with the children?’’
‘’She comes with the children and at times she comes alone, but mostly she comes alone’’ he disclosed.
‘’So, how did you arrange that?’’ i asked
‘’what we did was that every weekend, she comes to meet me in the office..because it’s a week day, she comes from her office…
‘’where does she work? I cut in again
‘’She was working with her cousin at a telecoms company in Surulere’’ he replied
‘’so she comes from Surulere to your office in Victoria Island?’’ i asked
‘’Yes’’ he responded and continued ‘’then we go to Ajah together
