The woman, Mrs Blessing Okpoko, who is a regional manager of a new generation bank, reported the latest development to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr Fatai Owoseni, who summoned to a meeting over the matter.

Blessing informed the CP that her estranged husband, Ifeanyi Okpoko, has taken further step by going to the dreaded Okija shrine to report her and she has been summoned to appear at the shrine.

Ifeanyi confirmed that he took her not only to Okija shrine but to seven other shrines in Igbo land since she claimed that he did not contribute anything to the acquisition of their property that is now the subject of litigation.

He said he went to consult the oracles to decide and punish quickly any of them and their supporters making false claims over the property.

Ifeanyi said Blessing was using her position as a senior bank staff to make some people believe that she owned their joint property, adding that was why he decided to go the oracles so that the truth would be established.

CP Owoseni, during the meeting with them to resolve the issue, lambasted Ifeanyi and Blessing for their conduct and wondered whether the couple had relatives and elders in their communities that could not resolve the issue amicably.
