“My family is intact and in God’s hands” – Okey Bakassi debunks viral divorce video

Nigerian comedian and actor, Okechukwu Anthony Onyegbule, popularly known as Okey Bakassi, has debunked viral divorce video of him and his wife.

It was reported that in a doctored viral video, the comedian cried out, saying his wife was asking for a divorce after he spent 15 years taking care of her and their kids in the US.

On his social media page, he debunked the viral reports, calling them disturbing and disrespectful. He clarified that he and his wife are still together and recently celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary in Canada.

Okey Bakassi also dismissed claims that his wife lives in Canada or is a nurse, describing the publication as false. He urged netizens to report the originator of the fake news on X for violating the rules.

He maintained that his family is intact and in God’s hands.

“It’s so disrespectful and sad that, out of desperation to get views or create viral content, someone will go to the extent of spreading fake news about my very happy family. Please, my family, friends and fans, disregard any story that my wife and I are having issues. It’s the work of evil, senseless people. Please help me report the originator’s page for this fake news on X (Twitter) for violating the rules.
My family is intact and in God’s hands”.

Last week, Bakassi had publicly celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary.

He shared a video collage of them and their three kids, recalling how they first met, how their pursuit of higher education pulled them apart, and how destiny brought them back together. The veteran actor said he and his wife weren’t chasing records or trying to prove people wrong; they were living their lives and showing themselves they’d made the right decision.

On their 20th anniversary, the comic actor marvelled at the growth of their love, recounting his challenges in marriage, and how nobody believed in their love, but they stood to fight for it. The father of three showered love on his beautiful wife as they toasted to 20 years of love, sacrifice, friendship and tolerance.

For their 19th wedding anniversary, the comedian shared a heartfelt message to his wife, vowing to love Ezinne until the end of time.

On their 18th anniversary, he recalled how his wife met and married him as a young, struggling man, and today they are both enjoying the fruits of their labour with their 3 kids.
