AMILOADED MEDIA HUB NEWS UPDATE

Veteran actress, Ayo Mogaji, has shared her experiences of domestic abuse in her marriage to Victor Ayodele Oduleye, a retired footballer and physiotherapist.

In a podcast with Biola Adebayo, Mogaji revealed that despite initially being in love, the relationship turned abusive, with Oduleye subjecting her to physical, mental, and verbal abuse.

Mogaji recounted how she would often sit outside their home, waiting for someone to arrive, to avoid being abused.

She said she endured the situation for thirteen years before separating from her husband four years ago.

The actress emphasised the importance of seeking help and leaving abusive relationships, advising others to prioritize their safety and well-being.

She said: “We fell in love with each other but any little thing ‘igbaju igbamu ni Keri Keri ma nba ro de ni” – (she was always beaten and assaulted).

“Even in England, the abusive language, the physical abuse, the mental torture when it gets too much, I will advise anybody to get out of that marriage.

“That when it is only me and him in the home, I will go outside the compound and sit down till somebody will come so that I will not be abused. We were in it for like thirteen years and we have been separated for four years now.”
