Mr. Ronald Ocakacon, a Boda Boda rider in Corner Mission is said to have stolen the money from their house and used it for drinking alcohol.
Mr. Abala Vincent, the Lemo East Chairperson said that when the wife learnt that her money was missing, she got furious and a fight ensued between her and Ocakacon. She then overpowered Ocakacon and eventually broke both his legs.

Mr. Abala decried the rising cases of Gender Based Violence in Lemo East and asked couples to seek peaceful means of solving conflicts. He also called for respect for each other and urged couples to always agree over family expenses to avoid wrangles.
