Faani, Chacha Eke's husband, refutes accusation of domestic abuse.

Nollywood actress Chacha Eke's husband Austin Faani has refuted claims he physically hit his wife.

Chacha recently posted on her Instagram that her nine-year marriage to Austin is ending because she can't go on with it.

"For the second time in two years, I am back here on social media and boldly declaring that I am done with my marriage," she wrote.

"Obviously, my long overdue/relentless stance on this is no news to Austin Faani, the doctors and my parents.

If push comes to shove and suddenly I am incommunicado; my lawyers, the welfare department and the Nigeria Police Force have my testimonials in recorded video clips/statements set for public release on all social media apps and national newspapers.”

 Many people were led by her message to believe that she ended the relationship because she had experienced domestic violence at home.

"I'm not a violent person. Personally, I abhor violence in any form. I have never raised my hand against any woman in my life, including my wife.

“Everyone close to this case knows the absolute truth and it is not in my place to divulge it. The one person who started the talk will in due time continues to talk. Let light lead,” he wrote in the post.

The actress's announcement about the dissolution of her marriage is not the first time. When she first announced her split from Austin in October 2020, many people assumed at the time that she was a victim of physical abuse.

The actress, who denies her spouse ever hit or yelled at her, denied the domestic violence allegation in a video.

She went on to say that she had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, which had been linked to her pregnancy at the time.
