Woman and lover gang up to beat husband

By Thomas Kipruto

There was free-for-all entertainment in the sleepy village of Mutito, Olenguruone, Nakuru County, after a cheating wife conspired with her illicit lover — a muscled boda boda operator, to beat up her husband when he caught them in a compromising situation.

The cuckold man who happens to be a tea picker, is said to have arrived at his home earlier than expected and found a motorbike parked at his gate. Considering most men in the area turn into nervous wrecks at the mere sight of unmanned motorcycles parked in the vicinity of their homes, following rampant cases of boda boda operators ‘hitching rides’ on people’s wives, the man dashed to his granary and sprung out with a dangerously curved club the Kalenjin call chebunyo.

When he began banging on the door and wooden windows, he drew the attention of idle and curious neigbours. For special effects, he kept issuing threats, cursing and ordering them to open the door. And after his calls for the door to be opened bore no fruit, he took the bull by the horns, kicked it hard and it fell a part, with pieces of wood flying all over.

But little did he know that the boda boda man was way stronger; built, in fact, like a battle tank. An eyewitness said the moment he stepped into the house, he was viciously attacked by his wife and her illicit lover — both dressed up, already.

Neighbours were tickled to hear the man’s high-pitched war cry quickly turn into painful yelps so they dashed in and rescued him.

“She hit him on the face using a sufuria,” said a woman chocking with laughter.

After the man had been secured from the melee, the boda boda man rode away while his illicit lover turned against the villagers and began lecturing them against getting involved in things ‘which they don’t know how they began’.

“How can a whole man like this one sleep like a log for a whole two months? Did he marry me for the sake of it?” she asked startled villagers, some who burst out laughing.

It was an elderly man in the crowd who put a full stop on the saga: “Young men around here will have to get serious. It is not proper for someone to be so lazy to the extent of another man trespassing and ploughing his land,” growled the sage.
