Popular Nollywood actress Evans Okoro has publicly accused her husband, Chibuzor Erikife, of threatening to kill her if she leaves their marriage, in what she describes as a desperate attempt to escape an abusive and toxic relationship.

In a heart-wrenching Instagram video shared on Wednesday night via her verified page, the actress revealed that she is living in constant fear and can no longer endure the marriage. She alleged that the threats have left her emotionally and psychologically trapped.

“I am living in fear, something strong is happening to me and if I do not come out to say it, I do not know where I will be tomorrow. I know a lot of people will laugh at me, I do not care,” she began tearfully.
“The shoe that I took home is not my size. Chibuzor Erikife is threatening me, that if I leave him, he will unalive me. I have written a petition about this and it is at the police station right now.”

“This Marriage Is Not Working” – Okoro Declares

Okoro disclosed that the marriage had been problematic from the start, alleging that her husband never paid her bride price.

“I do not want the marriage anymore. His bride price is not on my head. The day they came to marry me, they forgot to pay my bride price. My family called them last two weeks to come and pay my bride price,” she explained.
“Tell him not to harm my family or me. This marriage is not working. I have tried everything possible to make this marriage work. The shoe is very tight on my leg, and I cannot fit in, and I told him I want to leave, and he said that if I leave him, he will unalive me.”

From Love to Alleged Exploitation

The actress alleged that her husband married her under false pretences, believing she had money to spend on him.

“Chibuzor married me thinking that I have money to spend. When he came into my life, I thought it was all love, and I saw the way it was going. I was building this house when you came into my life, and I will finish it,” she said.

According to her, the relationship has since deteriorated into one filled with hatred and neglect.

“Please, if you know you love me, I am not asking you for me…don’t give me and don’t ask me…let me just finish and concentrate on my life. He said no. Since then it has been hatred. He will not touch me. He will not touch me as a woman, and I have complained to his family about this but they asked me to be patient and more prayerful. This is not about prayer. This guy is threatening my life,” Okoro added.

Police Involvement

Okoro confirmed that she has filed a formal petition with the police, calling on authorities and the public to hold her husband accountable should anything happen to her or her family.
