Popular Nollywood actor, Segun Ogungbe has spoken up about the controversial marriage to actress, Omowunmi Ajiboye who became his second wife in 2015.
Ogungbe who spoke to newsmen on Saturday noted that Omowunmi Ajiboye was his longtime girlfriend and that the rumours being peddled about the marriage are the work of jealous and uninformed persons.
He said: “I read the stories online and there were different versions but the truth is that I did not impregnate my wife’s best friend. It is all rumour. The lady in question was not even part of my theatre group; neither was she a part of my drama school. She had been my girlfriend for a very long time even before we finally got married.
“What happened was that there was a lady who wanted to marry me a long while ago and I made her realise that as of that time I could not have two wives. She is not into entertainment at all and I would not want to mention names. Eventually, I got together with my second wife and when she got pregnant and we eventually got married, the lady was very mad at me.
“She was the one that went on her Facebook wall to spread the false news that I got my first wife’s best friend pregnant. She was the one who framed me simply because I did not want to marry her back then. Sadly, people are quick to believe news like this without confirming the truth. No blogger reached out to me before they picked the news from her Facebook page and that is the rumour being peddled against me to date.
“No one would believe the truth till they hear from me but no one reached out to me and how many people would I begin to explain what transpired to?
“I did not respond to the news initially because I believe everyone has the freedom of speech, more so, I thought that if I had spoken out, it would prolong the matter and I just wanted it to end. I did not do anything bad; she was the one who framed me in such a way that I would look bad in the public eye. I also did not know who to reach out to for them to tell my side of the story and you know how this industry is.
“If I say a word to the wrong person, they could easily twist my words and make matters worse. That is why I decided to keep quiet. My wives did not know each other before I got married.
“I have a peaceful household. God has blessed me with wives who understand each other. It is only God that can help a man have a peaceful home. However, for those who think that I would have about 20 wives like my uncle; all I have to say is that they should mind their business”, he added.
