Just as it is true that every bowl has its lid, so has every identified problem also has its solution.

But an aggrieved young man who could no longer be in a “toxic relationship” with his would be wife, rather resorted to unconventional means to teach his lady a bitter lesson to end the relationship.

The young man by name Abu Mohammed said to be a Burkinabe businessman fell in love with a seamstress of different ethnicity at Assin Fosu in the Central Region and introduced her to his parents and other family members who are also residing in the area that he would marry her.

A dependable source said that Abu travelled to Burkina Faso in November last year and promised to come back in December to spend the Christmas with his fiancee.

The source who is related to Abu said that upon his (Abu’s) return to Assin Fosu at about 11.00pm on Christmas Day, he rushed to the girlfriend’s house with the speed of light to spend the night but his plans turned into a fiasco.

Reason? Per the sources account Abu did not inform his lady that he was on his way back so she went and brought another man to her room to spend the night.

Though there was light in the room, no amount of knocking by Abu could elicit any responses from the lady. 

However, Abu who was locked outside could hear some inaudible voices in the room and suspected that his fiancee was cheating on him.

So he went for a drum full of water in the compound and poured everything through an opening into the single room ostensibly to make the mattress completely wet since there was no bed and the mattress was put on the bare floor.

According to the source, Abu’s method worked to perfection as the “intruder” with his cheating partner could no longer enjoy a peaceful sleep because the whole room was full of water with a soaked mattress.

It took the intervention of Abu’s relatives and some good friends who got wind of his “payback method” to save the embarrassing situation, for the man in the room to flee through a window.
