    “My wife deserted our home and prevented me from gaining access to our two children.”

    This is the word of a popular Nollywood actor, Kalu Ikeagwu on Monday, he told an Ikeja High Court about the relationship with his estranged wife, Ijeoma.

    This was revealed during the proceedings  in the suit marked LD/8939HD/2021, where he is seeking a dissolution of his six-year-old marriage to Ijeoma.

    Apart from the disillusion of the marriage, the actor is also seeking full custody of his three-year-old son and 10-year-old step-daughter.

    He claimed that his wife packed out of his matrimonial and sent him a mail that she was on her way to her father’s house in Enugu.

    But he said contrary to her claim that he later saw her at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport with the children after some days.

    He told the court that he tried to contact her when he got to the house and found it empty. 

    Ikeagwu also debunked the claim that he sent his wife and kids out of the house and failed to provide for their upkeep.

    The actor further told the court that his wife denied him sex and also poured water on him while he was asleep.

    The petitioner also said he was not aware that his wife lost a pregnancy due to a  sexually transmitted infection while they were together.

    Ikeagwu said he stopped sending money to the children for upkeep and maintenance because his wife denied him being the father to his step-daughter.

    He added that this was after she accused him of attempting to sleep with the child and she failed to acknowledge the money he sent to her.

    “I have never been married to any woman before I got married to my wife. I married her after she had her daughter.

    “I earlier said the issue of revocation was because I felt she wanted to use me. My Lord, look at the precedence on how I have treated the girl from the very beginning.

    Justice Christopher Balogun had earlier ordered the children to play with their father in court and ordered the respondent to present the receipts of the tuition fees of the children in court.

    Balogun said: “According to the Child’s Right Act, you can not deny the children the best education even if you’re quarreling with your wife.

    The judge adjourned the case until June 23 for continuation of hearing.
