Popular Nollywood actor, Emeka Ike, has revealed how he felt like committing suicide as a result of his marital issues.

Recall that Ike and his wife, Emma, had their marriage dissolved on March 3, 2017, by a Lagos Island Customary Court due to allegations of continuous abuse.

In a live interview on Rubbin Minds, Channels TV, Ike revealed that he suffered from depression for a very long period as a result of his marital problems.

“That year, my secondary school, Saint Nicolas College on CMD Road in Magodo, was closed. Over N480 million had been invested in the school, and all I could heard was constant battery (of my wife).

“I was always saying, common I never beat this lady, I went on air, called her, ‘saying babe, do I beat you, but then they said, you are a star and they can always manipulate things and all that.

“Later I discovered that she was actually the one behind the whole thing. It was depressing to find out that the person I was confiding in was planning to blackmail me.

“People were building on my properties and I couldn’t do anything, I just felt like killing myself, I didn’t have evidence.

“You have to be a very successful man to be a woman beater because no carpenter or poor man is a woman beater, and there are people like Iyabo Ojo to back them up, but not every story is the same.”

The actor also claimed that he no longer has access to his kids as a result of the alleged assault.

However, Emma had yet to respond to the claims made by Ike as of the time of filing this report.
