Journalist, Akume Raphael who doesn’t believe the wife’s story, took to social media to call her out.
“On Ochanya’s case, i am more Angry with the man’s wife. How can she say she didn’t know all this while that her husband was committing such atrocities under her roof?
What kind of a mother is she?
How do people get to even becoming a knight in the Catholic church? I wish this woman get more punishment than the man, one she is a woman, second a mother….” he wrote.
