A social media user commented on the allegation thus; “The man wouldn’t have died, when he caught his wife with another man on their bed, he went to inform his pastor instead of going to his village for Goat cleansing! The pastor advised him to forgive the woman and not divorce her.
The man took his wife back, ate her food and continued sleeping with her, that was when the ancestors struck the husband with a strange ailment, that later took his life”.
