Nafisat, the newlywed wife of the Nigerian movie star, Akin Olaiya, has accused him of domestic violence.
She made the allegation while confirming the dissolution of their marriage in a viral video on Wednesday.
DAILY POST reports that a statement announcing the couple’s divorce by Olaiya surfaced online on Monday.
According to the controversial statement, the actor claimed that Nafisat packed out of their matrimonial home without his knowledge and all efforts to bring her back proved abortive.
However, reacting to the actor’s claim in a video cited by DAILY POST on Wednesday, Nafisat noted that she left the actor a few months into their marriage over domestic violence and mistreatment.
“Last few months, I left my marriage because I’m in pain, I’m mistreated. I feel like I did not matter. And nobody is going to stay in a marital home that goes with violence.
“All the things that they’re talking on social media about the divorce letter, yeah for real, me and my husband are not together anymore for like a long time ago, since last year. For those of you saying how can the wife just pack and leave when she’s not mad?which When there’s violence and something is really going on that you don’t really know about, and I’m expecting a lot from my ex-husband when I was with him because he’s older than me.
“The age gap is much. Yet everything was going down, and I can never come out to disclose the main issues in my marriage with him. That is what I can never do on social media. But what I’m trying to let you know is that it does not make sense for him to say she just packed her things and left without any issues. It can’t be possible. You guys should just think about it and see if it makes sense”, she said.
Recall that video from the couple’s wedding ceremony in July 2025, attracted significant attention on social media after the bride appeared unhappy and unusually serious while Akin continued to dance excitedly.
While the actor’s second marriage to Nafisat ended in less than five months, his first marriage also ended some years ago over allegations of violence and infidelity.
