The confession by a Nigerian trader to sleeping with her husband’s younger brother, with the excuse that she thought he was her husband, is raising eye brows.
The woman identified as Kuditat Ajayi is reported to have told a court in Igando area of Lagos state that she only finished making serious love with her brother in-law before it became clear to her that she had committed a sacrilege.
Her husband, Akande Ajayi is currently in court seeking dissolution of their 35-year-old marriage, based on accusation of infidelity.

Kuditat did not deny committing adultery with her husband’s younger brother, but she explained: ”I was in bed in the night when my husband’s younger brother came to the house my husband rented for me. I thought it was my husband who normally comes to the house at that particular time between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. to play and sleep with me.
"It was after he finished making love to me that I realised that he was not my husband. When I queried him, he claimed that my husband had traveled that was why he came to sleep with me."
Interestingly, she kept her ‘ordeal’ secret from her husband, saying: “I reported the case to my brother’s wife, who advised me not to tell my brother so that peace can reign in the family.”
Meanwhile, none of Kuditat’s explanations would appease her 71-year—old husband as he insists that the marriage must be dissolved. He further alleged that his wife had been sleeping with other men aside the incident with his brother.
“When I married her, I rented an apartment for her because I have other wives and I don’t want them to live together. I started hearing from people in the area that my wife was having an affair with a man, initially, I ignored it until her lover came claiming ownership of one of my children.
"The man eventually came to the house but I refused to open the door for him. When I questioned my wife, she confessed that the man slept with her but it did not result in pregnancy,” Ajayi told the court presided over by Adeniyi Koledoye.
He also accused Kuditat of practicing fetishism which apparently contradicts with his belief.
"I once caught her burying something in my compound, I accosted her and tried to remove what she buried there but I could not. I went out before I returned, she had cemented the place,” he added.
The court reportedly adjourned the hearing to Thursday, August 22, and advised the feuding couple to maintain peace.
Does Kuditat deserve forgiveness? Or you think Ajayi is just being too hard on her because his mind is already made up?
