Emeka Ike Confesses Undying Love For Ex-Wife
Nollywood actor, Emeka Ike who claims to have been blindsided by his divorce, insists that he loves his ex-wife, Emma and would take her back if only she confesses.
The actor made this revelation during an interview with the media, stressing that despite the fact that his wife was the one who asked for the divorce in the face of all his pleas, he still loves her.
When asked why he seems to have taken a long break from acting, Ike said, “I tried to restructure the man, Emeka Ike. Emeka Ike is a leader and as a leader, you need to appraise and reappraise your empire and achievements, so I have been appraising my constituency and I am happy that we are moving forward. At a point he relocated to Abuja from Lagos”.
The actor who recently relocated from Lagos to Abuja had this to say about his move: “I felt that my life was seriously threatened in Lagos, I have said it before that I am going to arrest some people very soon. In fact, some people took advantage of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) crisis to threaten my life and all that will be sorted out very soon by the police.
“I relocated to Abuja to avoid a situation where I would be walking on the streets of Lagos and a criminal would gun me down”.
“I used my discretion to stay away, while I watched from afar what was happening in Lagos, that was why that woman (his ex-wife) is no longer living with me. God knows I am not a wife beater, I don’t touch her and my children testified to that in court. I don’t know what came over her and who used her to blackmail me, but all that would be unravelled soon”.
When asked about the truth behind the domestic violence accusations thrown at him by his ex-wife, he said. “Have you watched that one movie where the wife was saying “everything is alright between me and my husband, he takes care of me and provides all my needs”, that was the situation between my wife and I, if I didn’t know I would have blamed her sudden change of character on my enemies. I love her so much”.
“Why would you blackmail me by claiming that I was always beaten her up when I didn’t. To avoid the disturbing mess, I had to abandon my business and house in Lagos and find a new life in Abuja.”
Ike went on to add that he had not seen the divorce coming and he had not been prepared. “I wasn’t. I don’t even believe we are divorced and I cannot remarry again. I am a real Christian and Christians don’t divorce. I told the court that I’m not divorcing my wife but they went ahead and got an injunction against a high court order”.
“I must see to the end of this matter because they have put many children out there without a mother. She is in pain wherever she is right now because I know they are dealing with her. I learnt she was beaten black and blue by one wife snatcher sometime ago, beside Mobil petrol station on Lagos-Ibadan expressway, my own wife beaten up like a common criminal?
“I want to know what has gone wrong with my wife, I want to know the devil behind, what is the extent of blackmail that brought her to this degrading level? The inspector general of police will be investigating into the matter very soon, while doing this, I have to stay away from Lagos because they could be after me”.
Recall that Emeka Ike once accused Pastor Chris Okotie of House Hold of God Church International Ministries of being the brain behind his marital crisis. He said”, the guy who is confusing my wife attend this church. He is one of the elders of the church, it is a church arrangement on his feelings for Emma after all that has happened between them. Emeka expressed undying love for her while asking her to confess the truth as a condition for him to take her back.
