Renowned Nollywood actress Ronke Odusanya has opened up for the first time about her separation from Saheed Olarewaju, popularly known as Jago, shedding light on the issues that led to their breakup.
In an interview on Wasila Coded TV, hosted by her colleague Bimpe Akintunde, the mother of one disclosed that a supposed friend had allegedly deceived her ex-husband with harmful rumors.
The friend reportedly claimed that Odusanya planned to leave the marriage for a life of prostitution and further accused her of having an affair with a senator.
“A friend of mine told my partner that I wanted to leave him and go into prostitution. That I went to sleep in a Senator’s house with our daughter, Fife. My mouth was left open when he told me,” she said.
The role interpreter shared that these rumors had a significant effect on her relationship with Jago. To counter the accusations, she presented proof by sending her ex-partner a photo showing her location along with a video marked with a timestamp.
“God gave me grace because I did a video recording of the time and date on my phone. I recorded it when we got to where we would sleep,” she said.
Looking back on that challenging time, Ronke Odusanya revealed that the breakup left her struggling financially.
“When we left, I didn’t have up to N10,000 in my account, but I decided this was it. 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 an accommodation,” she said.
