Nafisat, the wife of Nigerian actor Akin Olaiya, has explained why she left their marital home.
Olaiya married Nafisat in July 2025, several years after his first marriage ended.
Rumours of the couple’s separation circulated online less than five months after the wedding.
Finally confirming the separation in a dissolution statement released on June 22 2026, the actor claimed that Nafisat moved out of their matrimonial home without any crisis and all efforts to bring her back proved abortive.
Reacting to the controversial statement in a video on social media, Nafisat who had earlier accused Olaiya of abusing her, however, revealed that she left the marriage following the actor’s love affair with her best friend.
“Can you imagine that after the mistreating, pain and everything, the said husband ends up marrying your own best friend.
“So, what does that mean ? It’s because I’m not just the type that will come to say my own side of the story. I’m not used to it because in my own culture they don’t train us like that”, she said.
