Man arrested for having 4 wives, 7 fiancees AND 5 girlfriends
The Malaysia Chronicle ^ | November 1, 2014

A Gambian national who goes by the name Sonko Tijan is languishing behind bars after being arrested in Austria for secretly and separately keeping four wives, seven fiancées and five girlfriends.

By this, the prolific lover has set Austria’s record for polygamy.

According to Cameroon-info.net, it ended with a honey trap at Vienna Airport after two of his wives realised they were married to the same man and complained to police.

Reports say the seducer had picked up women all across the country, using them for room and board whenever he was nearby and borrowing money from them which he never returned.

News reports said Tijan’s downfall came after he met Sonja Maier, who believed she had found love at first sight when she was swept off her feet by Tijan after meeting him in a bar. The 28-year-old from Gambia told her he felt the same, and after a whirlwind romance – and against the advice of her family – they were married a month later.

According to Dailymail, after a year of happy marriage she was pregnant and browsing Facebook when she happened across somebody with the same surname and a strikingly similar-looking husband.

Curiously, she delved into the woman’s profile. Then she realised this woman’s husband was not only similar looking, but actually identical.

Once a jolly conman waived his lengthy billadong
Under the shade of Miss Coolibah’s tree,
And he sang as he watched and waited while her billy boiled:
“Who’ll come a-waltzing and marrying me?”

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You’ll come a-waltzing and marry to me
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled:
“You’ll come a-waltzing and marrying me.”

...

I knew it. It’s not like he’s being a real husband or boyfriend to all of them, which is a full time job.

Sounds like he could use arrest(ed).....

Best comment of the week!

I was thinking that if they didn't all know about each other he may need protective custody, maybe even disappear into witness protection...

It occurs to me we never hear of women doing this. Do we not do this, or do we just not get caught?

The four wives is a legitimate reason to arrest him, but not the seven fiancees and five girlfriends.
