A Lagos Customary Court sitting in Lagos island, on Thursday, March 2nd dissolved the marriage of Nollywood star Emeka Ike and his embattled wife Suzanne Emma. The court ruled around midday that the two can go their separate ways..
The three-man panel, presided over by Chief Awos Awosola, dissolved the 17 years old union, while delivering judgment in a marriage dissolution suit, marked LCC/15/2015, filed by the actor’s wife.
Other members of the panel are: Mrs. Opeyemi Olanrewaju and Mr Kehinde Jacob Olayinka.
In its judgment, the court stated: “From all the evidence before the court, the marriage between the couple had broken down and it is irreconcilable, consequently, the marriage is hereby dissolved.”
The court, however, granted Emeka the custody of the four children, but ordered that their mother should be granted unhindered access to them. The court said any party that is dissatisfied with the judgment should file an appeal within 30 days.
The court also received the photocopy of a bank draft of N300, dated July 20, 2016, with which Emma refunded the bride price her family received during her marriage to the actor.
