Mrs. Abi breaks silence on her husband’s alleged attack, revealing years of betrayal and quiet pain.
She blames the mistress for ongoing disrespect and financial pressure, while condemning violence completely.
Mrs. Vivian Abi, the wife of Mr. Abi Barango the man recently accused of attacking and stabbing a woman alleged to be his longtime mistress has finally spoken out. Her response sheds light on the complex and emotional issues behind a scandal that has captured the attention of many.
Speaking through sources close to the family, Mrs. Abi denied that her husband had ever been physically abusive towards her during their 14 years of marriage. She described him as a flawed but non-violent man. However, she did not shy away from confirming that her husband had been involved in an extramarital affair that had lasted for over ten years with the same woman who is now accusing him of assault.
“It’s been a painful part of my life,” Mrs. Abi reportedly said. “For more than a decade, I’ve lived knowing about this relationship, hoping it would end.”
Despite her emotional pain, Mrs. Abi explained that her main frustration was not only with her husband’s betrayal but also with the behavior of the mistress. She accused the other woman of constantly calling and demanding money from her husband. According to her, the woman had received about ₦1.5 million in a recent bank transfer, which she believed was part of a long pattern of financial demands.
“She kept disturbing him, asking for money all the time,” Mrs. Abi said. “He recently sent her ₦1.5 million. It’s not just about the affair; she’s been using it as a tool to get money from him.”
While Mrs. Abi made it clear that she does not support or condone violence of any kind, she hinted that she felt the mistress needed to be taught a lesson in a lawful and respectful way. “I would have preferred a different way to make her understand she cannot continue to disrespect people’s marriages,” she said. Her words suggest that her anger was directed more at the lack of boundaries than at the violence itself.
According to reports, the woman involved in the incident is currently receiving medical treatment. Details about her condition remain unclear, and her identity has not been revealed to the public. Law enforcement agencies have begun looking into the case, and legal action is expected to follow once investigations are concluded.
The case has stirred strong reactions on social media, with people expressing a wide range of opinions. Some have shown sympathy for Mrs. Abi, commending her for staying calm and dignified amid the scandal. Others have called for justice to be served, especially for the injured woman.
As the police continue their inquiry, more facts are expected to emerge. For now, the public is left with the emotional testimonies of a wife hurt by years of betrayal and a mistress wounded in what seems to be a dramatic turn of events.
