One man in Sasuri village, Mayanja, in Bungoma County has been fined Ksh.3700 by elders after he was caught in the act with his neighbour’s wife.
It is alleged that Simon Nyongesa famously known as Ng’ombe, was caught yesterday night at midnight in love escapades by the husband Juma Malikobo, a watchman in Bungoma town after he was informed of the illicit affair between his wife and Mr Nyongesa and laid a trap.
According to a neighbour Mr Edwin Mukasiali, Mr Malikobo informed his wife, Resor Malikobo that he was reporting to his normal duties only to resurface after some hours.
“He told his wife that he was reporting to work but he was laying a trap secretly, ” said Mukasiali.
His worst fears were confirmed when he found his neighbour right in the act with his neighbour. He was angered by the incident and wanted to slash him with panga before neighbours intervened.
“I can’t stand this, this I a disgrace to me,” he said.
The matter was reported to village elder Mr Wekesa Milimo where a meeting was called between the two warring sides where they reached an agreement and resolved on Ksh.3700 as a penalty that would be used for cleansing according to Bukusu traditions.
