A 70-year-old widow who was banished from her village for having a 30-year-old boyfriend has opened up why she chose to date a 'ben 10'.

The woman and her boyfriend were busted in bed by her grand daughter, and this act outraged the community who went ahead to ban her from the village.

According to the accounts of the granny, the young girl had noticed the man making moves on her granny and spied on them severally as they carried on with their shenanigans. This whole time the granddaughter was planning how to bust them and reveal their romance to the world, in the hopes of shaming her granny.

Whatever happened to that little thing we call..mind your own business huh?

So the young girl continued with her spying games until one night presented her with the opportunity to catch them in the act. She screamt so hard, villagers responded to the alarm she raised.

The villagers frog marched the two love=birds to the streets and mocked them for their 'romance'.

After being banished, the granny has come forward and opened up about why she has a 'Ben 10'. She explained that the young man was a family friend who was helping her out financially including doing house chores.

“I wouldn’t say whether I committed that crime or not. It is my bad granddaughter who caused this public embarrassment to me because if she did not report to the community, I wouldn’t have suffered this type of public disgrace.

“If she was a good granddaughter, the youths wouldn’t have rung the community bell which caused my disgrace; my granddaughter would have shielded me if she was a good child”, she said.

“My cell phone light was on and if I was having intercourse with the man, I would have switched off the phone but the light was on. So, my granddaughter shouted and reported to her uncle that she saw a man having intercourse with me. From there, the matter was reported to the youths and to the entire community and I was sanctioned.

“I have no problem with my granddaughter as to warrant her to report me

to the community that I was having sex with a man. This is a year and three months I took her to my house to stay with me. She gave birth and I took her to my house to stay with me so as to take care of her and I didn’t know that doing so will cause me problem by monitoring me and every step I took.

“Ever since I adopted my granddaughter, her husband doesn’t care how we are faring. It is even the man they said had sex with me that is taking care of her; at times, the man will buy uncooked foods including rice and some noodles and gave her to cook for him.

“The man will just eat a little from the food and leave the rest for her. When my granddaughter’s baby was sick, it was the man who went into the bush and got herbs used in curing the baby”, she explained.

“Yes, the man actually visits our house regularly. He stays till 12 midnight at times. That fateful Sunday they said he had sex with me, he came with his friend from Ozziza community and left at about 10:30pm after drinking some bottles of beer.

“The man later came back to buy local gin which I was selling him when my granddaughter barged into my room with her own cell phone light  and shouted that I was having intercourse with the man and started asking the man what he was doing with me”, she added.
