Shan George reacts to Chike's alleged scandal
In a previous report, Legit.ng disclosed that veteran Nollywood actress Shan George weighed in on the marital crisis between Frank Edoho and his estranged wife, Sandra Onyenucheya Edoho, involving Chike.
The actress took to her Facebook page on May 21 to state that intimacy with another man’s wife is unacceptable regardless of any issues in the marriage, explaining that couples often experience quarrels but that does not justify infidelity within the home.
Shan George concluded by insisting that Chike must apologise to Frank Edoho and to men whose marriages he may have disrupted, urging the singer to focus only on unmarried women.
