Suzanne Emma had initially approached the court on July 13, 2015, seeking to end their 14-year-long marriage, which had produced four children. In a recent interview on the Channels Television program Rubbin’ Minds hosted by Hero Daniels, Emeka Ike disclosed that the assault accusations made by his ex-wife led to the loss of properties valued at millions of naira.

The actor explained that he refrained from addressing the domestic violence allegations online because those criticizing him were prevalent on social media. Emeka Ike expressed the difficulty in clarifying the situation, stating, “I didn’t come on the internet space to clarify the allegations against me because it’s difficult to clarify because the same people that were bullying me on the internet, they were still there. They are gonna say, ‘Don’t mind him. He is still missing her. Move on.’”

He continued to share the impact of the accusations on his life, revealing that his secondary school, St. Nicholas College in Magodo, was shut down, resulting in a loss of over N480 million in investment. Despite denying the allegations, he faced severe consequences.

Emeka Ike recounted a conversation with his ex-wife, during which she admitted that he was not the marriage type. He highlighted the desperation of some individuals for legal matrimony, emphasizing that young men should be cautious.

The actor disclosed that he financially supported his ex-wife's higher education but realized later that the love was not reciprocated. Despite pleas from him and his family members, Suzanne Emma insisted on divorce. In an emotional recollection, Emeka Ike described the scene in court where even those accompanying his ex-wife were on their knees, bewildered by her determination to end the marriage.
