A widow battling illness has sought refuge with a Ghanaian pastor to confess her involvement in a tragic situation that led to the deaths of her husband, a military officer, and his colleague due to her infidelity.

Enyonam revealed that while her husband was away on a peacekeeping mission for over a year, she struggled to control her sexual desires and began an affair with another officer who lived in the barracks.

Seeking solace on Prophet Prince Elisha Osei Kofi's confession show, she explained that after her husband's return, she was too fearful to perform her marital duties, as her infidelity conflicted with a vow tied to their marriage.

In Ewe tradition, a wife who engages in extramarital affairs can cause harm to her husband if she cooks for him or engages in sexual relations. This could lead to sickness or even insanity.

According to Enyonam, her actions tragically resulted in her husband's death and that of his colleague.

"I came here because I sinned against my husband, a soldier. He travelled for one year on a peacekeeping mission, and I slept with someone else who was also a soldier in the barracks.

5

So, when he came back, I was afraid to tell him because I am an Ewe, and before we marry, they give us a stool to sit on as a vow to remain faithful to our husbands," she said.

Gripped with fear of losing her husband, she resorted to her sister cooking for her husband while he was at work. Upon his return, he ate the food without knowing who prepared it, and she also refused sexual encounters with him.

"I wanted to tell him and plead, but I couldn't, so I kept quiet. And because of that, I couldn't cook for him or have sex with him because if I did, he would go mad or fall sick. So, I resorted to one of my sisters to cook for him," she narrated.

Enyonam further shared that after mustering the courage to confide in a friend about her infidelity and the potential consequences tied to the vow, her friend dismissed the traditional belief. The friend argued that it was nothing more than a superstition designed to discourage infidelity, and there was no real danger.

Reassured by this, Enyonam resumed her normal duties as a wife, including engaging in sexual relations with her husband. Tragically, soon after, her husband fell ill. Despite numerous attempts to save him, moving from one hospital to another, he eventually passed away.

11

"I told one of my friends about the situation and, per our culture, the consequence, but she said it is an African belief, so I shouldn't be African, and I went ahead to perform my marital duties.

12

"He later fell sick, and we went to most hospitals, but he couldn't survive and died."

After her husband's funeral, Enyonam rekindled her affair with the soldier she had been involved with during her husband's absence. However, shortly after, the soldier also fell ill and eventually passed away.

Now, consumed with fear and experiencing similar symptoms to those that claimed the lives of her husband and the other officer, Enyonam has sought out the pastor, seeking refuge and confessing her actions in hopes of finding relief.

"After his funeral, I continued my affair with the soldier. I dreamt one day and saw my husband playing football with him, and my boyfriend booted my husband in the dream and got a red card.

16

"Later, he also fell sick and died. Now I am also sick, and I'm scared. I don't know if my boyfriend's wife is behind my illness or if it is a result of my actions because she once warned me about her husband," she added.
