Popular Nollywood actor, Akin Olaiya has come under fresh scrutiny after his estranged wife, Nafisat, spoke out about their ongoing marital crisis.

Speaking in a video on social media, Nafisat said:

“Can you imagine that after the mistreating, pain and everything, the said husband ends up marrying your own best friend.”

“So, what does that mean? It’s because I’m not just the type that will come to say my own side of the story. I’m not used to it because in my own culture they don’t train us like that.”

This comes after the actor confirmed that they had separated in a statement released on June 22, 2026.

He claimed that Nafisat left their home on her own and that all efforts to bring her back were unsuccessful.

For those who don’t know, Akin Olaiya got married to Nafisat in July 2025, after his first marriage crashed.
