The P and P a Tabloid, carries a hilarious yet sad account of a bank lady whose love for Charles Fosu's (Daddy Lumba) song "Aben Wo Ha" has landed her in big trouble.

Headlined "ABEN WO HA, gets Bank lady IN Big Trouble" the story has it that a light skinned well-married lady identified only as sister Ernestina who works with a top international commercial bank in Accra, love for the song made the discovery of her extra love nest easy.

According to the P and P, Sister Ernerstina whose husband is a legal officer vanished from her matrimonial home only days after her husband left for a conference in a South African country. She is reported as having left her two children in the care of their 13 year old house-help and left a note explaining that she was attending the funeral of a close buddy.

The husband who as it were took the 'story with a pinch of salt' went to her work place and was informed by a surprised staff that there was no funeral.

The story continues that the lawyer went upon a tip off to a joint at Adenta in Accra where his enquiries at a bar yielded fruit. One waitress is reported to have said, " I know the lady who always comes with her husband and requests that we play her favourite tune Aben Wo Ha. She lives in the next flat."

The real husband described as being shocked as well as infuriated went to the said apartment and asked if they knew a woman who fitted the tall light skinned description. "Yes" was the reply upon which they led the fuming husband to a door on which they beat a heavy tattoo all the time shouting "Sister Aben Wo Ha".

The P and P say Sister Ernestina appeared at the door with only a huge towel around her torso. Her scream of surprise brought her lover, who the lawyer husband recognised as one of the departmental managers of the bank, to the door.

The incensed husband is said to have dragged his wife downstairs to his car with only the towel still around her. The report continues that he drove her straight to her family house to lodge a complaint. The paper promises to update the story in later editions.
