Comedian and talk show host, Chinedu Ani, a.k.a Nedu, has reacted to allegations of domestic violence levelled against him by his ex-wife, Uzoamaka Ohiri.
In a post on Instagram on Saturday, Nedu said he never assaulted his ex-wife during their marriage, adding that she was unfaithful during the relationship and brought an illegitimate child home.
“Our marriage was one plagued with a lot of issues. One of which was continuous infidelity from her side that led to me conducting a paternity test on our kids, which led to the revelation that our first son is not my biological son, even though he was born within the period during which we were married.

“On the allegation of domestic violence, we have had this matter investigated twice, one by the police station in Ajah and another by a competent court of law during the dissolution of our marriage.
“Both times, I was cleared of all allegations and I have the necessary proof to back up my claim. If anyone should be laying claims to domestic violence, it should be me.”
Nedu said it was heartbreaking that he had to issue the statement; but that he had to do so because of his ex-wife’s allegations.
He appealed to her to let sleeping dogs lie for the sake of their children.
Uzoamaka had taken to her Instagram stories on Friday to accuse Nedu of battering her a few weeks after she delivered their child by a Cesarean section.
“@nedu_wazobiafm I am ready now, let’s take care of our girls, leave my son out of this… Remember this picture? You beat me up while your mother held my newborn a few weeks after a Cesarean operation,” she wrote.
In response to her posts, the OAP stated that he was not in the habit of trading issues on social media, but that he needed to clear the air on the accusations levelled against him.
Nedu, in an August 8 post said that he would always curse the day he met his ex-wife; to which the woman said that all she asked for was support for their kids’ upkeep.
