30-year-old man pays best friend 120K monthly salary to impregnate his wife (photos)
- A man paid his best friend and neighbor KSh 10,000 a week to try and impregnate his wife
- After 10 months and no results, it was time to pay the piper
- A medical examination revealed the man, with two lovely daughters, could not handle the job
Sometimes, you sit down and wonder where the world went wrong, and this case of a man asking another to impregnate his wife is reason enough for you to have one of this thought sessions.
Darius Makambak, 30, paid his best friend, Evans Mastano, 32, KSh 40,000 (N121,760) a month to sire a child with his wife, Precious, 28, because he is sterile.
However, the arrangement went south after ten months when no news of pregnancy was given.
Makambak, a member of the Tanzanian Police Force-Traffic department reported Mastano and the case was brought before a court.
Turns out, Mastano, a married man with two beautiful daughters, was also sterile but readily took up the job with Precious.
10 months and no pregnancy, it was time for some difficult answers.
Dar-es-Salaam Today reported on Saturday, February 25, that Mastano and Precious went at it a total of 75 times and failed to conceive a child.
For this mission, Precious took a three months leave from March to June 2016 to try and conceive her first child for her husband.
Things went awry when Makambak discovered his friend is sterile after insisting he undergo a medical checkup.
Mastano’s wife ended up confessing that he was not the father of their two daughters as they belonged to his cousin.
The case was brought before a court but the paid man refused to return the money as he promised no guarantee but honest effort in getting the job done.
She claimed she had been secretly forced to conceive with the cousin after realizing her husband could not do the job after two years.
Makambak now wants his money back but Mastano insists he did not guarantee conception, only that he would give honest effort.

EU comments on Kanu's trial, Biafra agitation
The European Union has responded to the
issue of the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu and other Biafra
agitators and said it is monitoring his trial.
This
was contained in a letter signed by Federica Mogherini who is the vice
president of the European Commission to Members of the European
Parliament who were signatories to a letter to him sent in December 2016
accusing Nigeria of human rights abuse.
Julie
Ward who is a member of the EU has been supporter and advocate of
Biafra and has spoken strongly against the detention of Kanu
Federica Mogherini
In his response dated February 13,
Mogherini said since the beginning of Kanu’s trial, the EU has been
monitoring it and said Biafra agitators should be allowed to protest and
express themselves as long as it is within the scope of the
constitution.
She wrote: “I fully
share your concern on the violence that has erupted in relation to the
Biafra movement. Individuals should be allowed to protest and express
themselves freely as long as they exercise this right in a peaceful
manner. Their prosecution, if founded on facts, should be carried out in
full compliance of the rule of law, their human rights and judicial due
process.”
The European Commission vice president said with the European
Development Fund, Nigeria is expected to fulfil human rights commitments
as 166 million euros was allocated to support the “fairness, transparency and accessibility of the justice sector governance reform and the fight against corruption.”
Julie Ward
Mogherini said the EU raises human rights concern with Nigeria at every
opportunity and promised that this will also be reiterated “through concerted effort, including parliamentary contacts.”
