‘Disrespect to My Family’: Okey Bakassi Reacts to Marriage Divorce Rumours

Nigerian comedian Okey Bakassi has reassured fans that his marriage remains intact following viral claims that he and his wife had gone their separate ways.

The actor addressed the rumours in a video posted on his social media accounts, describing the report as false and disrespectful to his family.

The speculation emerged over the weekend, with an online publication alleging that his wife had relocated to the United States to study nursing while he continued working in Nigeria and sending money to support her education for 15 years.

The report further claimed that she later requested a divorce.

Bakassi rejected the allegations, explaining that the story had caused concern among relatives, friends and supporters who contacted him and his wife for confirmation.

He said the incident occurred while he was working on a new movie with fellow actors.

He urged his supporters to disregard the report, insisting that he and his wife remain together.

The actor’s clarification appears intended to end the speculation and reassure those concerned about the state of his marriage.
