EMEKA IKE DIVORCE MESS: “He Deflowered Me, But I Don’t Want Him Again” – Wife Confesses

I still love my wife, says Emeka Ike
“He disvirgined me but I’m no longer
interested in him”, wife alleges battery
Ace Actor Emeka Ike yesterday prayed the
Lagos Island Customary Court not to
dissolved his marriage, saying he still loves
his wife, Emma.
Emma had gone to court, seeking
dissolution of their 12-year-old marriage.
Emeka, represented by his counsel,
Abdul’Hakeem Labi-Lawal, said his client
has not appeared in court because he is ill.
“My client is ill but I will try my best
possible he comes on the next adjourned
date. We indulge the court to give us six
months from this day to see if there is
possibility of settlement between the
couple,” he said.
But Mrs Ike said six months was too long
adding that the respondent had two years
to reconcile with her but he didn’t.
She said: “The last time I wanted to speak
with our children, it was my mother-in-law
who
picked the call and asked if I had read
Exodus 21 which says that if I go, I
shouldn’t return.”
The court’s President, Chief Awos Awosola,
said the court could only grant two weeks.
He said: “I am expecting Emeka Ike in this
court if he really wants settlement.”
Awosola adjourned the matter till August
12 for further hearing.
After the court rose, Mrs Ike told The
Nation that she wasn’t ready to return to
her husband. “Over two years since I left
the house, he never taught of
reconciliation. He had every opportunity to
ask me to return but he didn’t. So why
now?”she asked.
Mrs Ike said her husband took her last two
children from her when she was going for
her mother’s burial in February.
“He promised to bring them to me
immediately I returned from my mother’s
burial but he didn’t. Even when he didn’t
allow me access to see our children, I
spoke with them on several occasions but
now, he doesn’t allow me anymore. My
children are now against me, she said.
Mrs Ike said she left her matrimonial home
because she could no longer bear being
tortured anymore.
“If I was still with him, I may not survive. I
was 19-year old when I met him and he
was the one who deflowered me. I see no
reason I shouldn’t be treated with utmost
respect.
“Due to physical torture, my health has
been affected. There was even a time I
thought I had breast cancer because I felt a
lump on one part of my breast.” Mrs Ike
said.
She said things became worse last Sunday
when she called her husband to speak with
their children.
In tears, Mrs Ike said:”I almost went mad
when my first son told me on phone that if
I truly loved them, I wouldn’t have
abandoned them. Even my seven-year-old
son whose day wouldn’t be complete
without seeing me said he doesn’t love me.
I love my children. I miss my children. I
never abandoned them. I am in pain. They
don’t have any other mother. I really need
my children. I am a good woman; I
endured so many things as his wife.”
The union produced four children between
ages 4 and 13, from alaba tvnews .
