Emma had gone to court, seeking dissolution of their 12-year-old marriage. Emeka ike refused to appear in court claiming he was ill.
“But Mrs Ike said six months was too long saying that he gave his husband time for reconciliation according to her they've been apart to 2 years and Emeka ike did nothing for a possible reconciliation between them. She said: “The last time I wanted to speak with our children, it was my mother-in-law who
picked the call and asked if I had read Exodus 21 which says that if I go, I shouldn’t return.”
The court refused the 6 month plea from Emeka & his representative Saying “I am expecting Emeka Ike in this court in the 2 weeks if he really wants settlement.”
Awosola adjourned the matter till August 12 for further hearing.
After the court rose, Mrs Emma Ike who have bluntly refuse returning to the house said
“Over two years since I left the house, he never taught of reconciliation. He had every opportunity to ask me to return but he didn’t. So why now?”she asked.
She further went to say her husband took her last two children from her when she was going for her mother’s burial in February.
“He promised to bring them to me immediately I returned from my mother’s burial but he didn’t. Even when he didn’t allow me access to see our children, I spoke with them on several occasions but now, he doesn’t allow me anymore. My children are now against me, she said.
Mrs Ike said she left her matrimonial home because she could no longer bear being tortured anymore.
“If I was still with him, I may not survive. I was 19-year old when I met him and he was the one who deflowered me. I see no reason I shouldn’t be treated with utmost respect.
“Due to physical torture, my health has been affected. There was even a time I thought I had breast cancer because I felt a lump on one part of my breast.” Mrs Ike said.
She added "things became worse last Sunday when she called her husband to speak with their children.
As she broke down in tears before the journalist questioning her
”I almost went mad when my first son told me on phone that if I truly loved them, I wouldn’t have abandoned them. Even my seven-year-old son whose day wouldn’t be complete without seeing me said he doesn’t love me. I love my children. I miss my children. I never abandoned them. I am in pain. They don’t have any other mother. I really need my children. I am a good woman; I endured so many things as his wife.”
