P & P

An inside story of the P & P tells of a man beating and sacking his wife for wearing sexy pants. The paper says a motley crowd of football fans who had gathered at Chorkor Alomo Junction in Accra to lament Spain?s defeat of the Ghana?s Under-20 football team, the Black Satellites on April 18, were taken aback by the alarming shouts of a 26-year-old mother of two, from a nearby house.

According to the P & P, the crowd was bemused further when the young woman ran outside to the street followed by a popular and enterprising fisherman, Nii Amon Kotey, who was all out ?to beat the daylight out of his wife?. Family members and friends are said to have hastened to the rescue of the young woman and managed to restrain the husband from his wild intentions.

The paper says when quizzed as to the reason for the impasse, the young woman, Sister Aku, told her rescuers that her husband was beating her for wearing sexy underpants instead of the traditional cloth tampon with ?Aggrey Beads?.

"I was dressing in the chamber after bathing when Ataa Nii came into the room to see me putting on my underpants. It?s a nice sexy one I bought at the market today, so thought he was going to admire it well before we retire to bed, but instead, he turned on me, asking why I was not wearing a cloth tampon", Sister Aku is reported as telling the crowd.

The P& P quotes Nii Amon as explaining that his wife?s behaviour had changed of late, and wearing attractive sexy pants proves that she is having an affair behind him asked if he would take another woman, Nii Amon is reported as saying "only if she wears big beads around her waist. You know there are many beautiful woman at Chorkor, I?ll get one easily".
