Nollywood Actress Chiamaka Nwokeukwu Announces Separation From Husband Over Infidelity Claims

• Nollywood actress Chiamaka Nwokeukwu publicly announced the end of her marriage in a lengthy statement shared online
• The actress alleged her husband maintained a relationship with his former girlfriend, Anita, throughout their union
• Chiamaka said she sacrificed her acting career for the marriage and was left raising their child alone while her husband lived abroad

Nollywood actress Chiamaka Nwokeukwu has declared the end of her marriage, accusing her husband of maintaining a romantic relationship with another woman throughout their time together.

In a detailed public statement, the actress laid out a series of grievances about the state of the marriage, describing a union marked by prolonged absences and broken trust.

Chiamaka's marriage under strain

The Nollywood actress said her husband spent extended periods in Europe, sometimes remaining abroad for close to two years before returning home briefly.

During those absences, she said she was left in Nigeria to manage their household and raise their child without support.

The experience, she noted, left her functioning as a single mother despite being married, and she made the decision to step back from her acting career in order to hold the family together.

The deeper blow, she alleged, came when she discovered that her husband had continued a relationship with his former girlfriend, identified only as Anita.

According to Chiamaka, her husband had persisted in making promises of marriage to the woman even after their own wedding, and had also facilitated steps to help Anita relocate to Europe.

A visa application was reportedly made on Anita's behalf, though the initial attempt was unsuccessful, with a second process said to be under consideration.

Discovery that led to the decision

Chiamaka further alleged that Anita had visited their home and was permitted to plait their daughter's hair.

The situation came to a head when a friend of Anita's reached out to Chiamaka after observing how effusively she praised her husband in public.

That contact led to her receiving a video that allegedly showed items inside Anita's residence, including what appeared to be spiritual materials, a photograph linked to her husband, and Anita's international passport.
