Fight ensues in red light district after husband catches his wife working as a prostitute

altDRAMA broke out in the middle of Nairobi earlier this week when a married man surprisingly found his wife working as a prostitute in the city's red light district and engaged her in a volatile confrontation.

 

Kenya's capital is one of the most popular spots for prostitution in Africa as its red light district is very popular with foreign tourists who visit local wildlife resorts. In a bizarre development the wife in question decided to make some quick money on the side by working the streets but unfortunately, her husband happened to pass by just as she set up shop.

 

Apparently, the wife had taken up a position in a popular brothel in the centre of town and her husband, who resides in the city's Zimmerman estate, could not believe his eyes when he walked in and found her there. His wife of seven years was apparently soliciting for sex from a patron at the bar-cum-brothel along Nairobi’s Ronald Ngala Street.

Incensed, the man confronted her and a protracted verbal exchange ensued, with both trading accusations. As the row escalated, the management of the establishment threw both of them out on to the street where the man attacked his wife, attracting a crowd of curious onlookers.

One eyewitness identified as Mbogo said: “It was not until passers-by tried to intervene and separate the two that the man spoke out. He defended his actions, explaining that the woman was his wife and he had caught her working as a prostitute.”

Mbogo, a handcart pusher, said the two popped out of the entertainment joint, pulling and tugging, amid wild screams from the woman. He added that bouncers had thrown them out of the club and they continued fighting on the street, with the man expressing his disgust by physically attacking and calling her names.

During the tow, the visibly angry man shouted to onlookers who had milled the incident, explaining to them why he was beating up his wife. The man is said to have consistently referred to her as a shameless prostitute.

As the name-calling went on, entertained onlookers laughed off their heads and cheered them on to fight, although the two were separated by members of the public after the fight and insults become too much. Afterwards, the woman melted in darkness, leaving the man explaining to the crowd what had transpired prior to the fight.

 

Apparently the man is a freelance electrical technician and the couple has been having financial problems for a while. His wife was a housewife and the family solely relied on the man’s salary, which was not sufficient.

 

However, almost two years ago, the man, a father of two, got reprieve from the burden of fending for his family after his wife come home one evening with good news. She has gotten a job as a waiter at a city restaurant, which involved her working the night shift.


For close to two years, the woman is believed to have been engaging in prostitution without her husband being as wiser. Following the discovery, however, the fate of the marriage looks dire as the woman disappeared, leaving her husband fuming in the street.
