Social media has been rocked by Nollywood actress Evans Okoro’s public outcry over her husband’s claimed death threats, which she characterizes as a last-ditch effort to leave a violent and unhealthy marriage.
The thespian stated that she no longer wants to stay in the marriage but that her husband’s threats are holding her emotionally and psychologically hostage in a heartbreaking video posted to her verified Instagram page on Wednesday night.
In her social media post, the actress disclosed that she no longer wants to stay married to her husband any longer since he is not who she believed him to be.
‘’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.
‘‘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.

‘‘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.
‘‘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.”
Evans Okoro said she believed it was all love when he entered her life, but she claimed Chibuzor married her because he thought she would have the 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. 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 to my life,” she noted in the video.
