Reports circulating on social media from Voice of Warri, a local media and gossip outlet based in Nigeria confirms the death of a woman identified as Madam Rita in Udu, Delta State, under controversial circumstances.
According to the reports, Madam Rita confessed to being involved in a long-running extramarital affair with her husband’s sales boy.
Sources cited by the outlet further alleged that she personally paid for hotel accommodations where the encounters took place.
The reports claim that Madam Rita later seriously fell ill and her condition deteriorated to the extent that she became extremely weak and emaciated.

It is further alleged that several hospitals were unable to diagnose or successfully treat the illness.
The narrative took a dramatic turn when, according to the same sources, she was eventually taken to a traditional healer.
The illness was attributed to ancestral punishment, said to have been triggered by her violation of cultural taboos surrounding marriage.
In some traditional belief systems, particularly in certain communities, adultery by a married woman is considered a serious offence believed to attract severe spiritual or ancestral consequences.
The reports suggest that Madam Rita’s illness and eventual death were linked to such beliefs.
