…returns bride price

These are not the best of times for one of Nollywoods best actresses, Ini Edo. The Akwa Ibom beauty marriage to Edo State born Phillip Ehiagwina has crashed like Dana airline. Those in the know are shouting on the rooftop that the USA based husband has been hearing all kinds of stories about his wife’s ways in Nigeria.

Bad belles have been telling him that the wife doesn’t carry herself as a married woman and most times she doesn’t even wear her wedding ring to functions. These enemies of progress were said to have briefed Phillip about his wife’s alleged closeness to a South-South governor who spends money on any lady that catches his fancy like an Arab prince.

We were told that all these juicy gossips contributed to the eventual collapse of the union contracted in November 2008.

Insiders divulged that Ini Edo’s family has returned the bride’s price paid on her head in Akwa Ibom in 2008 to Phillips family in Edo State. The implication of this action is that their daughter, Ini is now a single lady and free from marital vows.

However, the actress has been crying and telling all those who cared to listen that she has never cheated on her husband throughout the six years of marriage. Hear her: “There is a conscious and malicious attempt to tarnish my image. I asked for a divorce from my ex-husband because of lots of irreconcilable differences. I never cheated on him”.

We can also tell you for free that the actress has removed evidence of her marital status from her social media account accounts and reverted to her maiden name.
