…My father- in-law acceded to it —Husband

A man of Lusaka, Zambia, Jackson Changwe, 48, admitted to the court that, “Yes indeed, it was he who had fathered three children with his wife and also impregnated her sister.”

Asked why he was sleeping with the two sisters, Jackson claimed that it was because his wife always deserted their home whenever they had a quarrel hence his appointing her younger sister to act in her capacity as wife until she cools down and returns home.

According to Zambia Observer, Jackson also said he had been allowed by his father in-law to sleep with his wife’s younger sister.

However, his wife, Mirriam Namutowe, claimed that Jackson was a womaniser.

She claimed that for years, he had lied to her that he would work in Namibia, yet, he did not have an ordinary passport size photo and used the so-called Nambia trips to visit other women.

Challenged with this fact, Jackson begged for the court not to dissolve his marriage claiming he will stop sleeping with the now pregnant sister-in-law.

His pleas were not enough as the court dissolved their marriage and ordered him to pay his wife K12,000 in K500 installments.

Hundreds of aggrieved job seekers on Friday staged a protest at the Governor’s Office, Alagbaka, Akure, the Ondo State capital, over alleged fake letters of employment issued to them for teaching positions in the state.

The protesters, who had applied for teaching jobs under the state’s civil service, barricaded the entrance to the Governor’s Office while demanding immediate inclusion in the ongoing biometric capturing exercise for newly recruited teachers by the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB).

According to the protesters’ claims, despite possessing ‘official-looking’ appointment letters purportedly issued by SUBEB and the State Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM), their names were not included in the official list of successful candidates scheduled for the exercise.

While armed with placards of various inscriptions, the job seekers chanted solidarity songs and called on the state government to intervene.

A source said, “The affected members of the newly recruited teachers in Ondo State are protesting their disengagement from the capturing exercise due to backdoor appointment letters issued to them by unscrupulous directors of the personnel at SUBEB and TESCOM offices.”

In a reaction, the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Ebenezer Adeniyan, confirmed that the protesters had been scammed with fake appointment letters by some unknown people.

“People should please note that those who protested are not teachers but applicants who were duped by some individuals during the recruitment process.

“They all paid money to scammers who issued them fake letters of appointment.

“Those legitimately recruited by the government have been absorbed and have started working,” the CPS stated.

The government, however, maintained that the genuine recruitment exercise is being handled transparently and urged applicants to be wary of fraudsters exploiting the process.
