Few month after
her separation with her husband, Nollywood actress Chika Ike opens up about the
physical abuse she suffered for five years in the hands of her husband.
The past
three years has been a very emotional period for me. I focused my energy on
work and to build back my self esteem. its been really hard for me to come out
straight and talk about this because sometimes I pinch myself to wake up and
not believe that I was a victim of domestic violence. I've been through a lot
in my life, faced a lot of challenges but this is one topic I've tried so hard
to avoid and have been waiting for the right time but I have come to a resolve
that there's really no right time because every second of the
day,lives are being lost due to domestic violence. I was a victiim of
domestic violence in my marriage and that was the singular reason I left my
marriage, aside other reasons.
