Nafisat, the wife of Nigerian film star Akin Olaiya, has publicly accused the actor of domestic abuse. This revelation followed the recent announcement that their short-lived marriage has come to an end.
Reports indicate that Olaiya previously claimed Nafisat abandoned their home without explanation. However, Nafisat challenged this version of events in a video released on Wednesday. She stated that she chose to leave the residence months ago due to ongoing mistreatment and violent behavior.
Addressing the public, Nafisat emphasized that she endured significant pain during their time together. She disputed the actor’s narrative, questioning the logic behind his claim that she left without a valid reason. She noted that despite their significant age gap, she expected a higher level of maturity that was ultimately not met. Nafisat chose not to disclose specific details of the marriage, citing a desire for privacy regarding the core issues.
The couple’s marriage, which lasted less than five months, previously garnered social media attention during their July 2025 wedding ceremony, where observers noted the bride appeared somber compared to the groom’s energetic demeanor. This is the second time Olaiya’s marriage has ended under similar allegations of violence and infidelity.
