His wife dropped him at the airport claiming to be going to Lagos.
He turned back to sleep in his mistress' house and the plane he was meant to board crashed.
The wife and the whole family were already crying and thinking of going to Lagos to claim his body, then he appeared and gave this confession.
If you are the wife, what are you going to do?
Hard to say! However, the woman should forgive her husband, and hope he changes for good. At least, for still having him alive!
