“I Took Poison Because of Shame” — Omo Local Breaks Silence on Divorce Ordeal
Popular Nollywood actress, Victoria Akanke Ajibola, widely known as Omo Local, has shared the painful story behind the collapse of her marriage, revealing a shocking betrayal involving her husband and her best friend.
Speaking in a recent interview on Oyinmomo TV, the actress alleged that her husband was having an affair with her closest friend — a situation that left both women pregnant at the same time.
According to Omo Local, she was five months pregnant when she discovered that her friend was three months pregnant for her husband.
“I was five months pregnant, my best friend was also three months pregnant, and my husband. The trauma was so much to the extent that I took poison because of shame,” she said during the emotional interview.
The actress disclosed that the emotional distress and public embarrassment drove her to attempt suicide, describing the period as one of the darkest moments of her life.
She further revealed that after walking away from the marriage, she lost contact with both her ex-husband and the former friend.
“Anyway, I don’t know about her whereabouts anymore. Maybe she’s still together with my ex-husband, I don’t know, but they had about three children together after I left him,” she added.
Omo Local’s revelation has since sparked conversations about betrayal, mental health, and the silent battles many women endure behind closed doors.
