A Nigerian woman living in the UK has been left in emotional turmoil after discovering a secret romantic affair between her widowed father and her married mother-in-law—both of whom were staying at her home for omugwo, the traditional postpartum care period.

According to a now-viral story shared by a Twitter user, the woman had recently given birth and invited her father from Nigeria for emotional support, as her own mother had passed away. Her husband also brought over his mother to assist with caring for the newborn.
For weeks, things seemed fine—until the woman checked her home’s security camera feed via her mobile phone. To her disbelief, she allegedly caught her father and her mother-in-law engaging in a secret affair right under her roof.
Due to limited space in the house, the two guests were reportedly sharing one room with twin beds. The couple occupied one room, their baby had another, and the remaining guest room was jointly used by the parents.

Now, the new mum is said to be deeply confused about how to handle the situation. According to the Twitter source, she hasn’t told her husband and doesn’t know whether to confront her father or her mother-in-law. With six months remaining in their visa stay, the woman fears a family breakdown if she brings the matter to light.
The viral nature of the story has sparked intense debate online, with many Nigerians calling it “the wildest omugwo story of the year.” Some sympathized with the new mum, while others were stunned by the elders' lack of discretion.
