A woman who was abandoned by her own husband for suffering from breast cancer, has disrupted the man’s wedding.
A man identified as John Njuguna Ng’ang’a was getting married to his new wife on Saturday, August 20, when the ceremony was rudely disrupted.
Njuguna, a wealthy elderly real estate manager and Anne Wairimu, his young new wife, were celebrating their wedding at her Ruiru home, Kenya, when the man’s first wife Jane Njeri Njuguna, armed with a court injunction, stormed the scene accompanied by the Officer Commanding Ruiru Police Station.
According to Sahara Tribune, while the two women engaged in a scuffle, the old man was whisked off to Ruiru Police Station where he spent the night.
Njeri revealed that her husband opted for a second wife because one of her breasts was surgically removed due to cancer and that at one time, he even insulted her that she no longer has anything special for him.
“He has a right to marry even 10 wives, but what I want is the property I acquired with him. It is painful to see another woman enjoying my sweat after I have endured a lot of ridicule,” said Njeri
Sahara Tribune reports that another relative who declined to be named said, “We were shocked and ashamed when our mum revealed how Njuguna insulted her that she is useless now that she has nothing on her chest for enjoyment.”
Njuguna refused to speak to Sahara Tribune at the police station, instead he just laughed off the matter. Njeri claims she was shocked to learn that Njuguna had found a younger woman to marry just days to the secret wedding, forcing her to seek intervention from the courts.
“When the order was delivered at the woman’s house where the wedding was supposed to be held, he was not around, but he later signed it,” a close relative told The Nairobian. “We thought he would obey the order, only for word to reach us that the wedding was going on. Luckily, we arrived in time and saved the situation.”
