Actor Emeka Ike’s Wife Files For Divorce As Marriage Crashed Over Constant Beating

What can I say? Folks hardly go into marriage with good heart. When you love sincerely, some will play on you, manipulate you for selfish reasons, until God in His mercies intervene and deliver you. Sad!

Popular actor Emeka Ike and his wife are ending their 12-year-old marriage. The wife, Emma Ike, has filed for divorce, citing constant beating, saying he sometimes calls her witch anytime they fight.

Emma said her husband is constantly battering her. Below is what she told a customary court:

“It was when my husband beat me mercilessly I believed that people truly saw stars whenever they were unconscious. It was my brother who took me to the hospital where I spent two months.

"There was also a day I was feeding our last child with tea, my husband, out of anger took the tea and poured it on my head.”

“I even persuaded his sister to bring four of her children to our school without paying a dime but instead of showing appreciation, she said I was a lavish spender and that was how I stopped being in charge of his school.

“Each time we fight, he calls me a witch saying whenever he intends to start a project and he informs me it eventually fails. He also said if he hadn’t married me, I would have become a prostitute,” she said.

“Since I left, he doesn’t allow me to speak with our first two children asking me to come home if I really want to see them. Even when I was in with him, he leaves home for months on the pretext of different appointments. I can’t face all this anymore. I need help,”

Emeka Ike and his estranged wife are bless with 4 kids. The case has been adjourned till July 22nd.
