“Nigerians If Anything Happens to My Mum, You Won’t Like It” – Son of Second Wife in Mama Ukehe Saga Reacts

The son of the second wife involved in the ongoing Ukehe family controversy in Enugu State has broken his silence, pleading with Nigerians to stop attacking his mother over the allegations of mistreating her husband’s first wife, Mrs Gertrude Anulika Ngwu, popularly known as Mama Ukehe.

The young man, whose identity was not immediately established, appealed to social media users to stop directing hatred towards his mother, insisting that she did not deserve the level of backlash she had received.

In a statement circulating online, he said:

“Nigerians, Please Stop Att@cking My Mum. Is It Not Enough Already? That Woman Does Not Deserve All This Hate. Do You Want Her To D!e? If Anything Happens To My Mum, You People Won’t Like It. Please, This Is Enough.”

His reaction comes after Mama Ukehe’s emotional experience at her husband’s Ozo title-taking ceremony went viral, sparking widespread outrage over how she was allegedly treated by her co-wife and stepchildren.

Mama Ukehe, who has no biological children, had reportedly been married to her husband for several decades before he took a second wife, who has five children.

In an interview with BBC Igbo, the first wife alleged that she experienced insults and hostility after her husband married another woman. She also claimed that her co-wife rejected gifts she bought for her and described her as bad luck in front of the children.

However, the second wife denied insulting Mama Ukehe over her childlessness, while her husband also disputed some of the allegations.The News Chronicle+2

The controversy has since attracted massive public attention, with Nigerians organising visits, donations and celebrations in honour of Mama Ukehe.

Following the latest reaction from the second wife’s son, social media users have continued to criticise him and his family, with some insisting that the backlash is a consequence of the allegations against his mother.Reactions@sonofwest3: Is he foolish? na we say make your mama na bad person
