In a revealing interview, Nollywood actress Ronke Odusanya shared the painful story behind her broken marriage with ex-husband Saheed Olarewaju, popularly known as Jago. Ronke explained that a close friend’s damaging lie about her alleged infidelity led to the breakdown of her marriage, causing severe emotional and financial hardship.
According to Ronke, her friend falsely claimed she was involved with a senator and even took their daughter to stay with him. Reflecting on her shock at hearing these accusations, Ronke said, “When he told me, my mouth was left open. A friend of mine told him that I wanted to leave him and go into prostitution. She told him that when I left that night, I went to sleep in a senator’s house with Fife.”
In disbelief, Ronke documented the night in question with photos and videos, recording the time and place she stayed to defend herself. She shared how, after leaving her home, she had only N10,000 to her name and no place to go, eventually staying with her brother. “I had nothing; all my jewelry was taken away, and I fainted with that. I was wondering where to start from. I cried so much that day because I didn’t have money to get accommodation,” she recounted.
The situation worsened when, amid rumors, Jago requested a DNA test for their daughter’s paternity. In court, the request for a DNA test further strained their relationship, but Ronke agreed on the condition that Jago would cover the cost. The actress explained how hurtful this experience was for her, as it cast a shadow of doubt over her commitment as a mother.
In early 2022, Jago publicly apologized for questioning the paternity of their child. He expressed love for his daughter and admitted that the rumors he heard led him to make hasty decisions.
Through her story, Ronke highlighted the impact of false accusations on relationships, underscoring how she had to rebuild herself and her life after this deeply painful chapter.
