Breaking: Court dissolves Emeka Ike’s
marriage
Nollywood actor, Emeka Ike and his wife,
Suzanne Emma, have parted ways.
A Lagos Island Customary Court, South West
Nigeria today dissolved their 17 year-old
marriage.
The three-man panel presided over by Chief

judgment following a petition filed by Suzanne.
Other members of the panel of judges were:
Mrs. Opeyemi Olanrewaju and Mr Kehinde
Jacob Olayinka.
Emeka Ike and his estranged wife, Emma
“From all evidence before the court, the
marriage between the couple had broken
down, and it is irreconcilable, consequently,
the marriage is hereby dissolved”, said the
court.
The court granted Emeka the custody of the
four children, but ordered that Suzanne should
be granted unhindered access to them.
Either Suzanne or Emeka Ike has 30 days to
appeal.
The court also received a photocopy of a bank
draft of N300 dated July 20, 2016, which the
Suzanne used in refunding the bride price,
paid to her family during their marriage.
Suzanne in the petition filed before the court
accused Emeka of incessant beating,
molestation, and torture, which she said she
could no longer endure.
But Emeka in his response denied beating,
molesting or torturing his wife. He urged the
court not to dissolve the marriage.
He also informed the court that his wife had
moved out of their matrimonial home five
times without any reason.
He also told the court that the only time ‘devil’
entered their marriage, was when his wife paid
for the children’s school fees.
