File photo of a worried man
Dear GhanaWeb,
My wife was arrested yesterday. I was at work when I got a call that the police had gone to pick her up at her place of work.
I rushed to the police station to meet her with one guy she claims was an ex of hers. I never even knew they were still in contact with each other, to the extent of having been involved in a crime together. I was shocked!
So, it was at the police station that I got to know that the guy she claims is her ex had scammed someone of GH¢450,000 and he used my wife as a middleman. He worked things out behind the scenes and made my wife talk to the person so the person was convinced he was a lady.
The person sent the money and my wife got GH¢150,000, which I never knew or heard of. I got the chance to talk to her. I asked her where the money was and she said she’s used it, but couldn’t tell me what she used it for. I just left and I’ve been wondering who I married till now.
The person they scammed was coming to Ghana this December and they sold him a property that they didn’t have access to. The person managed to track the guy down when he arrived and realized it was a scam, with the help of the police.
The guy later snitched that he didn’t work alone, and that my wife was his accomplice. Interestingly, they don’t have just one victim, but multiple. What’s my wife looking for money for when she has a job that pays her almost GH¢5,000 monthly and I give her GH¢2,500 monthly also?
So, they’ve both been detained till further notice. I know this case isn’t going to be easy, but I feel like not showing any concern.
I want to leave myself out. It’s not even like she brought the money home. She tells me she’s going here and there, but goes to her ex’s home to defraud people.
I really don’t want to care. She should face it with her family and she can ask for a divorce if she comes out of prison because the more I think about it, the angrier I get.
I’ve always known something was up; I just didn’t know it was this much. Is it okay to move on with my life and not care about her? I don’t want to be judged wrongly. I need your suggestions.
