Actor Akin Olaiya’s New Wife Accuses Him Of Domestic Violence

Nollywood actor Akin Olaiya has been accused of domestic violence by his estranged wife, Nafisat.

Nafisat made the allegation while confirming the collapse of their marriage in a viral video on Wednesday.

Her reaction came days after a statement attributed to Akin Olaiya surfaced online, announcing the end of their marriage. In the statement, the actor reportedly claimed that Nafisat left their matrimonial home without his knowledge and refused to return despite efforts to reconcile.

Responding to the claim, Nafisat said she left the marriage because of alleged violence and mistreatment.

She said:

“Last few months, I left my marriage because I’m in pain, I’m mistreated. I feel like I did not matter. And nobody is going to stay in a marital home that goes with violence.”

Confirming that they had been separated for a long time, she added:

“All the things that they’re talking on social media about the divorce letter, yeah for real, me and my husband are not together anymore for like a long time ago, since last year.”

Addressing those questioning her decision to leave, Nafisat stated:

“For those of you saying how can the wife just pack and leave when she’s not mad? When there’s violence and something is really going on that you don’t really know about.”

She further explained that she had expected maturity and understanding from the actor because of the age difference between them.

According to her:

“I’m expecting a lot from my ex-husband when I was with him because he’s older than me. The age gap is much. Yet everything was going down.”

Although she declined to reveal the full details of the issues in the marriage, she insisted that there were reasons behind her departure.

She said:

“I can never come out to disclose the main issues in my marriage with him. That is what I can never do on social media. But what I’m trying to let you know is that it does not make sense for him to say she just packed her things and left without any issues. It can’t be possible.”

The couple’s wedding in July 2025 had previously attracted attention online after many social media users observed that the bride appeared unusually serious during the ceremony while the actor danced excitedly.

The marriage reportedly ended less than five months after the wedding. Reports also indicate that Akin Olaiya’s previous marriage ended amid allegations of violence and infidelity.

As of the time of this report, Akin Olaiya has not publicly responded to Nafisat’s latest allegations.
