A 45-year-old woman in Alebtong district has come under fire for eloping with her stepson who is twenty years younger than her.

The woman named Esther Ajwang got married to Joseph Omara of Otengoro Olang Okweryic clan, unfortunately, her husband passed on.

Following the demise of her husband, Ajwang decided to rekindle her love life, and she would later settle for her stepson only identified as Ogwal (25yrs) and the duo has since been living under one roof as husband and wife.

But owing to pressure from clan leaders of Otengoro Olang Okweryic, the two love birds have since fled their village of Arwot Wie Pek, Amononeno Parish in Abako Sub county.

Geoffrey Ocen, the “Rwot” of the clan has told Qfm that they have since mounted a frantic search for Ajwang and Ogwal vowing that face a serious reprimand for committing incest.

Ocen says that it is absurd that the woman decided to take Ogwal whom she watched grow as a young child to be her husband and that it is a taboo in Lango traditions.

By the time of filing this story, the clan elders are still desperately in search of the woman and she hid out is yet a mystery.
