A former member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Robinson Uwak, has accused the House of Representatives spokesperson, Benjamin Kalu of having illicit affair with his estranged wife, Kezia and being responsible for his broken marriage.

Uwak, who made the accusation on his Twitter page, @_lager, screenshots of which have gone viral, alleged that his wife dated Kalu since he married her.

According to Uwak, Kalu has refused to allow his (Robinson) family to run smoothly.

Kalu was also accused on Twitter of allowing his alleged mistress to address journalists at the National Assembly, which some of his critics described as unethical and wrong.

He also alleged that “despite being a married woman, Kalu continued his illicit affair with her, booking and inviting her to hotels to sleep with her”.

He added, “When I confronted my wife about it, she cried and pleaded profusely at a family meeting and I forgave her.

“Despite her pleas, she continued with her cheating, which led to the last altercation with me.”

Uwak, who represented Oron, Mbo, Okobo,Ure-Offong/Oruko and Udung-Uko federal constituency of Akwa Ibom State at the 7th Assembly further accused Kalu of asking the Department of State Services (DSS) to arrest him and secretly sponsoring petitions against him over ‘trumped-up domestic violence allegations by his wife’.

According to Uwak, Kalu has vowed to send him to jail “so that he will feel free to have my wife as he pleases”.

Meanwhile, SaharaReporters called Kalu several times and sent a text message seeking his response to the allegations but he had neither answered the calls nor replied to the text message at the time of filing this report.
