Rumors have been trailing actor Emeka Ike for a while now,we have been hearing of his violent tendencies for a long time.His wife is said to have endured a lot of maltreatment from him,but it seems she has been pushed to the wall.
She has now filed for divorce according to news flying around.
According to court papers, she has been made a ‘punching bag’ as Emeka reportedly beats her during every misunderstanding.
“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,” she told the court.
She also alleged verbal torture on the part of her husband.
“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,” Mrs Ike 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,” she further said.
The case has been adjourned by the court to July 22.
