A young man whose newly wedded wife ran away after two weeks of marriage has called on her family to refund the money he spent of their marriage.

The young man, Isaiah Otong, whose wife ran away two weeks after their marriage, is now calling on the woman’s family to return the money he spent.

The Obot Akara Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom State indigene had, in December, 2016, narrated how he spent N950,000 on his traditional marriage to a 47-year-old woman, Idongesit John Udoma, only for her to dump him 15 days later for another man, with the connivance of her family.

Otong had sent a warning to men to beware of Udoma and her family who were using her to extort money from men in the name of marriage.

Early this year, Otong had also posted on his intending marriage to another woman which is supposed to take place in Oron Local Government Area of the state, but now, he is leaving no stone unturned in his bid to get his money back from the Udoma’s family.

Read the breakdown of what Otong claimed he spent on the marriage to Udoma:
“I am doing all this because I don’t want anyone to fall into this old lady’s love charm again or fall into Cletus Udoma 419 business again.
