The P&P

"Chicken-Soup ruins couple's 9-year-old marriage", is the headline of the P& P. According to the story, a bowl of fufu and groundnut soup prepared with tender-fleshed chicken, given to a neighbour by Madam Mercy Badu, 35, has ruined her nine-year-old marriage.

Mr Kobina Mensah, a native of Cape Coast, who had for sometime been suspicious of the relationship between the wife and one James Otoo, a co-tenant, has capitalised on the gift to throw her out of their matrimonial home.

To Mr Mensah, the quantity of food the wife gave to James, far out weigh his, thus, confirming his earlier suspicions that his wife was in love with James, reports the paper.
