Edwin Ezeonu who accused his ex-wife, veteran actress, Ngozi Ezeonu of marrying off their daughter without his consent has in a fresh interview revealed how his marriage eventually crashed after the actress ’emptied his house’ and left with his children.
Recall that a few weeks ago, Ezeonu’s only daughter from Ngozi, got married at a glamorous wedding ceremony held in Asaba, Delta State. But the father of the bride was missing in action.
He was reportedly kept in the dark and denied the right and joy of giving the hand of his only daughter out in marriage.
However, the aggrieved father, who maintained that as long as he is concerned, his daughter, Ogechukwu, is unmarried, speaks about his life with the actress during a chat with Inside Nollywood.
He said: “I came back home one day from work and met an empty house, without any prior notice. As I got home that fateful day, my landlady told me that Ngozi had packed out of the house, taking the children along with her. Few weeks before that, I had insinuated that she was putting up a new apartment. I summoned her and warned her against dividing the family. But she never listened.
“I gave Ngozi all the supports and encouragements she needed to boost her career as a seasoned actress, yet she never valued all my efforts. She also never contributed a dime to the upkeep of the house and wellbeing of the children. Even after they left, I still catered for my kids: school fees, foodstuff and all. I’m devastated that my only daughter would do this to me. Ngozi should also desist from using my surname. We are divorced.”
As at the time of going to press, all phone calls and text messages sent to Ngozi Ezeonu for her reaction, were not answered.
