Emma, Nollywood actor Emeka Ike‘s wife has filed for divorce from her husband of 12 years. Emma claims Emeka is a wife beater who constantly turned her into a punching bag and calls her a witch anytime they fought.
She reportedly told a customary court, “It was when my husband beat me mercilessly I believed that people truly saw stars whenever they were unconscious. It was my brother who took me to the hospital where I spent two months. There was also a day I was feeding our last child with tea, my husband, out of anger took
the tea and poured it on my head.”
Emma went on to narrate how the couple’s school project failed on account of Emeka not allowing her manage it. “I even persuaded his sister to bring four of her children to our school without paying a dime but instead of showing appreciation, she said I was a lavish spender and that was how I stopped being in charge of his school.”
She continued, “Each time we fight, he calls me a witch saying whenever he intends to start a project and he informs me it eventually fails. He also said if he hadn’t married me, I would have become a prostitute. Since I left, he doesn’t allow me to speak with our first two children asking me to come home if I really want to see them. Even when I was in with him, he leaves home for months on the pretext of different appointments. I can’t face all this anymore. I need help.”
The case has been adjourned until July 22, 2015.
