Emeka Ike, in a recent interview, pointed fingers at Emma for the significant loss of his properties, blaming her for the challenges he faced after their 14-year marriage was dissolved by a Customary Court at Lagos Island in 2017 due to incessant battery.
Emma, however, offered a different perspective, recounting disturbing incidents of abuse throughout their 17-year marriage. In the interview, she detailed a specific incident at the hospital when their child was seriously ill. According to Emma, while negotiating with the hospital for the child’s treatment, Ike verbally berated her and physically assaulted her.
She shared, “There was a time we went to the hospital; my child was sick. We didn’t have money. And I was trying to negotiate with the hospital to treat the child, and we would pay later. It was taking a little bit of time, and he (Emeka Ike) just came in and started yelling at me.”
Emma continued, “I got upset and said, ‘Sir, why are you being a jerk?’ And I went off into the car to sit down. Immediately he (Emeka Ike) was coming into the car; his punch was the first thing that I was seeing on my jaw.”
