Woman marries 2 husbands (at the same time) for 11 years

A woman from Delta State who alleged­ly hid her adulter­ous
relationship from her husband, Lekan Onipede, is now on the run after
viciously attacking him with boiling water and a knife.

According to Sun Newspaper, the woman, Rosemary David, had a son for
Onipede, a 31-year-old indigene of Ondo State, about 11 years ago, when
he was 20.

While still living with him under
the concept of Common law mar­riage, and in what would appear to be a
case of polyandry, she allegedly hooked up with another man in Delta
State and had two other children (a boy and a girl) with the man,
passing them off as Onipede’s children.

Over the years, David perfectly
juggled the two ‘husbands’ in Ondo and Delta states, co-habit­ing with
one or the other in a near seamless manner until the bubble burst, and
set the stage for the heinous attack on Onipede after accusing him of
adultery. The tale began when David who was living with her parents in
Ore, Ondo State, got into a relationship with Onipede and became
pregnant.With Onipede insistent on not allowing her abort the pregnancy,
she dropped out of school and later gave birth to a baby boy.
Af­ter the birth of the baby, Onipede relocated to Lagos to study at a
technical school and also seek means of earning income to sup­port
David and the baby. While Onipede struggled to find his feet in Lagos,
David alternated be­tween living with her parents and Onipedes’ parents
in Ondo State on the one hand and her aunt in Delta State on the other
hand.
Two years later, Onipede completed his training at the technical
school at Abule-Ado, Lagos State, got a job and then invited David to
come and live with him. This began their ‘mar­ital’ journey. A few weeks
later, David informed him that she was pregnant. Quite upset with the
news, Onipede expressed his dis­pleasure, but promised to do his utmost
to cater for the family.
As it would later turn out, David regularly traveled to Delta State
to visit her aunt and her mother, during which she would stay for three
weeks or one month. She continued to make the frequent visits to Delta
State until she gave birth to a third child.
The first twist in the tale occurred four years ago, when Onipede and
his elder brother attended a wedding in Delta State, where they met one
of the brothers of David and his friend named Okey.
When Okey learnt that David was married to Onipede, he laughed
scornfully and said: “Okay, let’s see after the wedding because we have
something to talk about.” Okey exchanged numbers with Onipede and they
kept in touch.
When the duo spoke, Okey told Onipede that his ‘wife’ had another
husband in Delta State. Despite the protestations of Onipede, Okey
challenged him to trail David to Delta whenever she embarks on another
visit to the state. Still unbelieving, he did not act on the advice
until the 2014 Easter period when David traveled to Delta State with the
third baby.
Onipede called Okey, who urged him not to believe David’s story of
going to visit her aunt. Acting on this advice, Onipede trailed David to
Delta State and spent three days searching for her. On the third day,
he finally saw her with another man. Heartbro­ken, Onipede returned to
Lagos the same day, after discovering his wife’s infidelity.
Recalling what he overheard in the bar that night, Onipede told Sunday Sun:

“As I sat at the bar monitoring my wife,
one of the men seated there said that he did know what Rosemary always
went to do in Lagos. Every time, she would go to Lagos and leave her
husband here at home. I am sure it is because of the first wife of the
man she is married to. I returned home, I took my two children that
Rosemary left behind for blood test since DNA test is expensive. The
only child who had the same blood group as my was the first child I had
with Rose in secondary school. When she came back from Delta, I told her
that I got a new job and said that she should go and do a blood group
test as the company required the whole family to do such. When she did
it, the second and third children had the same blood group but it was
not the same with their mother’s blood group or mine. That was when I
knew the children were not mine.”

As it stands now, the police are said to be making efforts to track down David who is on the run.
