“I then told him that I know you are a man but I’m going to fight you so you won’t be able to have your way.

I then told him to take himself away because I’m not a cheap woman; he should go and look for single girls,” she explained.

“I asked him if he knew about the place I came from. I reminded him that I’m from Delta and women from that state don’t meet other men once married. I continued to beg him and told him that his action would cost me my marriage. He said anything that would happen should happen. I told him to hold on and that I had a condom in my bag. He said no and that was when he finished having his way with me,” she added.
