In a revealing interview on Channels Television's Rubbin' Minds, Nollywood veteran Emeka Ike unfolded the painful chapters of his divorce from Suzanne Emma, offering intricate details of the ordeal.
The dissolution of their 14-year marriage by a Lagos Island Customary Court in 2017 was marked by Emma's allegations of incessant battery.
Ike disclosed that the subsequent online bullying and social media scrutiny prevented him from publicly addressing the accusations, ultimately resulting in substantial financial losses.
The actor, visibly affected by the fallout, shared the staggering impact on his life, including the closure of his secondary school, St. Nicholas College, and the shutdown of a significant investment amounting to over N480 million.
Ike's emotional account revealed the pleas from family members, who knelt before the court in a desperate attempt to salvage the marriage.
Despite their efforts, Emma insisted on the divorce, leaving Ike puzzled and questioning the underlying psychology of her decision.
The actor further hinted at a possible external influence, suggesting that his ex-wife might have been coerced or manipulated into the divorce by undisclosed individuals.
The interview shed light on the multifaceted challenges, emotional toll, and complexities surrounding Emeka Ike's journey through this tumultuous period of his personal life.
