How woman married two men at the same time

AN Ikeja Magistrate's Court was told, yesterday, how a woman, Mrs.
Adedoyin Ogunmefun, allegedly married two men at the same time.
She was also accused of having children for the two men she allegedly married.
Mrs Ogunmefun, who was arraigned alongside her second husband, before
Magistrate B. O. Osunsanmi, over alleged forgery of National
Population Commission certificate of birth AO8/NO/0268923 and
AO8/NO/0268922 was said to have been married to one Mr. Abraham
Okoro, who she had two children for before leaving to have another
child for the second husband.
The Police prosecutor, Mr. Benson Emurih, told the court that the
defendants presented the forged certificates to Parthcare Laboratory
in Oduduwa Crescent, GRA, Ikeja.
He said the offence was punishable under sections 409,363 (3) of the
Criminal Laws of Lagos State of Nigeria 2011.
The complainant, Abraham Okoro, toldVanguardthat he had lived with his
estranged wife between 2000 and 2007, adding that the union produced
two children namely Kymberly Abieyuwa Adenike Okoro and Bryant Amadin
Olamipo Okoro, who were born in Nigeria and US respectively.
He further accused the wife of deserting their marriage for
Ogunmefun, who she had a daughter for in 2009.
In addition, Okoro said the accused was told that for her to be
accepted back into her matrimonial home, she would perform some
traditional rites of cleansing.
His words: "She agreed to demonstrate her love and loyalty and moved
back to my house on February 14, 2012 and we started living together
again until May 17,2012, when she went to an Ikeja High Court to file
for nullification of her marriage with Mr Ogunmefun before Justice
Oyewole.''
Okoro, however, said his wife moved out of his house again on November
3, 2012, noting that she suddenly wrote him a letter through her
lawyer, Taiwo and Taiwo, in December 2012 claiming that the two
children she had for him were not his.
He said: "On March 26, 2013, I got a court summon, the petitioners
were Adedoyin Ogunmefun and Babatunde Ogunmefun, claiming that my
children were Babatunde's children, with a fake DNA result purported
to embarrass me andmy children, the matter which has long been
strucked out by a magistrate court sitting in Surulere," he added.
