NOLLYWOOD superstar Akin Olaiya has officially cut ties with his second wife following a bizarre vanishing act that left his marriage in tatters after just one year.
The screen icon opened up about the sudden collapse of his marriage to Nafisat, revealing that a simple disagreement over a night out ended with his wife packing her bags and doing a runner from their matrimonial home.
The drama began when the couple were scheduled to attend a high-profile event together. According to Akin, Nafisat pulled out at the last minute, claiming she was no longer interested in going.
But the real plot twist came when the actor returned home later that evening.
Instead of finding his wife cooling off, Akin walked into an empty house. Nafisat had quietly packed up all her worldly belongings and fled the property without uttering a single word.
Desperate to save his marriage, the frantic film star launched a series of rescue missions, begging his runaway bride to return home and work through their differences. However, Nafisat flatly refused to play ball, insisting she was done with the relationship for good.
Faced with a permanent brick wall, the actor finally called time on the brief romance and officially dissolved the marriage.
