What is the reason for the divorce?

Suzanne claimed that Emeka verbally and physically abused her all through the years they lived as man and wife, even though their union seemed perfect on the outside.

Suzanne also claimed that the actor behaved disgustingly and did not allow her to see children, avoided her phone calls and changed his contact numbers. She managed to talk to her son only when he was preparing for surgery; according to her, a friend informed her about her son’s illness, after which she called Emeka to find out the address of the hospital, but he refused to release this information. The actor also refused the gifts Suzanne prepared for her children for Christmas.

All these factors forced her to come to the decision that her marriage had to be ended sho she can at least have access to her children.

Emeka Ike’s version

Emeka claims that the court's decision was unlawful, he and his lawyer were not in the judicial institution and did not sign the necessary documents, so all that happened could be considered arbitrary.

What happened between Emeka Ike and his wife

A lot of fans may have noticed that Emeka Ike took a long break from acting; this was partly caused by problems in his private life. Something has really changed about his personality.

He said he does not know how to explain the change in his wife’s behavior, claiming that he never touched her and the children could confirm this; he also believes someone is using her to blackmail him, and sooner or later the truth will become known.

According to the actor, he had a peaceful marriage; he and his wife satisfied each other’s needs and enjoyed common happiness. He still loves her very much and wants to know the reasons for the blackmail. To follow up with the chaos, he had to give up his home in Lagos and business; her demand for a divorce was put forward quite unexpectedly, which was a heavy blow for him.

The actor still does not consider himself divorced and does not want to look for a new wife. He maintains that he is a true Christian, and in Christianity it is not customary to get divorced. Emeka told the court that he refused to divorce, but his requests were not satisfied and the family was separated.

The children's relationship with their mother

Emeka Ike is not going to leave the situation unsolved; now that his children do not have their mother living with them, a huge part of their childhood has been affected. They were really close to their mother, so the actor understands what kind of anguish they must be going through without her.

Emeka Ike claims that at a point, the children did not want to see their mother anymore because they had become afraid of her; he also claimed that their daughter was crying when it was time to go to Lagos to meet with Suzanne.

The actor does not like that his daughter does not have a worthy role model in her life. He claims Suzanne treated the children cruelly and even her son testified against her at a court hearing.

The actor also said he noticed that the woman liked to watch TV shows in which wives killed their husbands and many other cruel things happened. At first, he thought that this was just entertainment, but perhaps she took ideas in these stories and played them out in real life.

Is the church involved in this?

The actor insists he just wants to find out what the devil did to his wife and what degree of blackmail made her come to such degradation. Emeka said that this case should be dealt with by the police, and he must stay away from Lagos in order to avoid confrontations.

It is worth recalling that the actor once accused Pastor Chris Okotie of being the culprit behind his family scandal. According to him, a true man of God should help to solve family problems, but his wife fell into the hands of a charlatan who only aggravates such problems. He says regular priests invite both spouses and talk with them, leading to reconciliation, but this pastor did not answer any of his calls, and whenever he tried to talk to him, there was always no answer. He insists he did not use his position to save their union. Emeka wanted him to advise Suzanne to return home, but he did not even want to know what was the cause of their quarrel.

It is strange that Suzanne insists her husband is very cruel, considering that a few years ago she described him in church as a caring, loving man who was doing everything to ensure the wellbeing of the family.

Suzanne also demanded parts of Emeka’s property, and she shut down the school he spent millions of Naira to establish for her.

There are several important questions Emeka Ike claims he needs answers to:

  • Who made Suzanne do this?
  • What does she need the money for?
  • What will happen to the children when it’s time for them to receive their inheritance?

If everything Emeka Ike says is true, we can only feel sorry for his troubles. It is amazing that he still wants to restore his marriage even with all the things that have happened between them. Emeka says true love can never die, and the bible says love can endure many sins, Suzanne is the mother of his children and when he met her, she was nobody and did not even know her own father.

The actor built a family house in Lagos and bought property in Isoko. He helped his wife through school until she received a master's degree and made sure she had everything she needed.

Such a notable and attractive actor has a huge number of fans who would like to take his wife's place even within the first week after his divorce, but he prefers to behave like a gentleman and make the right decisions when it comes to family life and marriage.

Emeka says that he is ready to redeem Suzanne. The main thing is that she should confess and come back so that he can safely live on, being aware of what influence was exerted on her.

Suzanne, however, insists the marriage is over and she will prefer to live her life separately. She avoids journalists and does not want to touch on this topic again. She insists that she wanted her ex-husband to show some remorse for all his actions, but this never happened.

Well, this is a rather complicated story and we still do not know which of them is the victim, and who the offender is. Let us hope that the truth will be known and justice will triumph soon.
