Nafisat Hammed, the estranged second wife of popular Nollywood actor Akin Olaiya, has broken her silence on the collapse of their short-lived marriage, alleging domestic violence, mistreatment, and betrayal as the major reasons she walked out.

 

In a viral video that has sparked widespread reactions on social media, Nafisat opened up about the painful experiences she endured behind closed doors, insisting she left the union to protect her peace and well-being. The couple had tied the knot on June 29, 2025, in a ceremony that generated public excitement, but cracks reportedly appeared within months.

 

“Last three months ago, I left my marriage because I’m in pain, I’m mistreated. I feel like I did not matter,” Nafisat stated emotionally. She revealed that despite the significant age difference, she married the actor out of genuine love, hoping for a lasting union, but alleged repeated violence and emotional abuse made staying impossible.

 

The distraught woman expressed deeper hurt over claims that Akin Olaiya later married her best friend, describing it as a painful betrayal by two people she trusted. “After all the pain and everything, the husband ended up marrying your own best friend. What does that mean?” she questioned.

 

Nafisat dismissed narratives suggesting she left without reason, urging the public to understand that no one abandons a happy home. “Nobody is going to stay in a marital home with violence… I choose my peace and happiness over everything,” she added, while praying for a better future.

 

The actor had earlier issued a formal dissolution letter, stating that Nafisat packed out of their matrimonial home without notice and rejected reconciliation efforts, including family interventions. He declared the marriage over from his end.

 

The development has ignited debates among fans, with many expressing shock over the rapid end of the marriage. Some sympathised with Nafisat’s account, while others called for caution in judging private matters.

 

As the story continues to trend, industry watchers note that the saga highlights the pressures and complexities faced by celebrities in balancing public image with personal realities. Neither party has indicated plans for further public escalation.
