Two weeks back the internet went agog when the news broke that Suzanne,
wife of iconic nollywood actor, Emeka Ike, filed a divorce in a Lagos
court. She claimed that her husband often beat her and when the battering was
too much, she decided to leave the house.
Report reaching us from the exclusive chat he had with
Saturday Beats, the dark-skinned actor said that he also leant about the news
on the internet. He said he had not been served with any court papers.
“I also read the news of the divorce online when someone
called my attention to it.I have not got an letter from any court yet, so it is
all still speculations. Every family has its challenges and people disagree
over issues a lot. Marriage is not just about husband and wife but the
children. I will not play that mandate because my children are my prerogative and
they have to be properly protected. Nobody should mess them up because of these
rumours.
Ike said the love he has for his wife would not allow him to
beat her for any reason. He said he had never beaten the mother of his children
and challenged whoever does not believe him to ask his children or neighbours
if such has ever occurred.
The President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, in an emotional
tone told Saturday beats that he adores his wife and she is probably using that
against him. He appealed to her to come back home because the children are
missing her.
When I showed my children what was on the internet, they
were sad and said that it was a lie because I don’t beat their mother. I am a
father of four children and I must protect them first before I even protect
myself. Anyone who sees my wife should tell her to come back home to her
children because they need her,” he said.
