Husband of Nollywood actress Chacha Eke‘s, Mr. Austin Faani has reacted after she announced their separation some hours ago.
Chacha Eke took social media by storm when she came out to reveal that she was ending her marriage since she couldn’t risk staying in it to die.
She shared the post on Tuesday, June 28, 2022. But according to her husband who she has accused as being physically abusive, Austin Faani has rebuked the assertion that he is an abusive partner.
“I am not a violent person. Personally, I detest violence in any form. I have never raised my hands on any woman in my life including my wife,” he wrote.
“Everyone close to this case knows the absolute truth and it is not in my place to divulge it. The only person who started the talk will in due time continue the talk. Let light lead.”
Austin Faani’s reaction comes barely hours after Eke had announced their separation.
“LEAVE NOW ALIVE OR LEAVE AS A CORPSE ⚰️Many have died pretending all is well whilst wishing, hoping and praying for a better tomorrow. I don’t want to “die” or go inexplicably “missing”. I sincerely and publicly apologize for living a lie these past years. True to random speculations, there has been trouble in my “perceived paradise,” part of her statement read.
The actress appealed to some relevant security agencies to be wary if she strangely becomes unavailable.
This public outcry is the second time the actress has announced her separation from Austin Faani.
In 2020, the actress revealed that her marriage was over. However, she came back a few days later to downplay her earlier separation story; adding that she said that because she has bipolar disorder.
“Several psychiatrists have come to assess me mentally and I have been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. Bipolar is real. Here in Africa, we tend to not know about it due to ignore or overlook it. I cannot tell you all how I have been feeling in these tiny videos I have been making but I will however show you in motion pictures soon,” she said at that time.
She went on to welcome their fourth child in 2021. Eke and Austin Faani were married for almost nine years.
