A veteran Nollywood actor, Emeka Ike, has said he lost everything, including four kids and properties, to his failed marriage to Suzanne Emma.
The 56-year-old actor revealed this on Sunday on a Channels Television programme: “Rubbin’ Minds.”
Following Emma’s application on July 13, 2015 and subsequent hearing, a Lagos Island Customary Court in Lagos State in 2017 dissolved the marriage between the duo.
Emma alleged incessant battery by Ike.
Speaking on the aftermath of the divorce after 14 years of marriage and four children, Ike said: “I didn’t come on the internet space to clarify the allegations against me because it’s difficult to clarify because the same people that were bullying me on the internet, they were still there.
“They are gonna say: ‘Don’t mind him. He is still missing her. Move on.’
“And if you’re not prepared to handle it, you will be crushed.
“My secondary school, St. Nicholas College, on CMD Road, Magodo, was shut down.
“Over N480 million investment that year was shut down.
“And all I heard was constant battery.
