My Ex-wife Made me Lose Properties , Access To Kids – Emeka Ike

Veteran Nollywood actor Emeka Ike shared his personal experience regarding the allegations made by his estranged wife, Suzanne Emma.

He revealed that these accusations not only resulted in the dissolution of their marriage but also led to the loss of his properties and limited access to his children.

Recall that The Lagos Island Customary Court dissolved their marriage in 2017 due to the persistent issue of battery.

In July 2015, Emma approached the court seeking the dissolution of their 14-year-old marriage, which had produced four children.

During his appearance on the Channels Television program Rubbin’ Minds, hosted by Hero Daniels, Ike expressed that the assault allegations made by his ex-wife caused him substantial financial losses amounting to millions of Nigerian Naira.

One of the reasons Ike chose not to address the domestic violence allegations immediately was because he felt harassed by individuals on social media.

Ike said, “I didn’t come on the internet space to clarify the allegations against me because it’s difficult to clarify because the same people that were bullying me on the internet, they were still there. They are gonna say, ‘Don’t mind him. He is still missing her. Move on.’

“And if you’re not prepared to handle it, you will be crushed. My secondary school, St. Nicholas College, on CMD road, Magodo, was shut down. Over N480 million investment that year was shut down. And all I heard was constant battery. I was like, ‘I don’t beat this lady. What’s going on? Babe, what’s going on? They said I beat you, do I?’

“And she [my ex-wife] said, ‘No. But you’re a star, you know, they can always manipulate things and all that.’ So, I was gullible until I discovered that she was actually the one behind all this whole thing. Some ladies are too desperate for marriage legally. And she actually told me one time that I am not the marriage type. And I didn’t understand it. So, the young men need to know that there are plenty ladies that are not the marriage type lately.”

Despite sponsoring his ex-wife’s higher education, Ike revealed that he discovered that he wasn’t genuinely appreciated or “loved in return.”

Ike mentioned that he and his family pleaded with his ex-wife not to pursue a divorce, but she remained adamant in her decision.

“She [my ex-wife] went to divorce herself. She said, ‘Judge, please, divorce me, I want to go.’ I said, ‘Kilode? Where are you going?’ I was on my knees. Felix Duke was on his knees. My sisters were on their knees in court. Even the people that came with my ex-wife to court were on their knees. They said, ‘Are you okay? What’s wrong with you?’ We didn’t understand what was going on in her psychology,” he recalled.

He further expressed his belief that his ex-wife was coerced into divorcing him by individuals he referred to as “gunmen” with whom she was associated.
