A manager at Sterling Bank, Rumuola Branch, Port Harcourt, Anthony Oko Ikpor, who was captured in a video which went viral on social media after his estranged wife, Blessing Oko Ikpor stormed and disrupted his wedding has finally broken his silence.
In former reports making rounds on different news website, Anthony was accused of secretly getting married to a lady he was secretly dating and later impregnated despite being married for 17 years.
It was also reported that the lady Anthony Oko Ikpor impregnated and secretly married is a sister to ex- staff to Sterling Bank, Easter Igbokwe who the bank relieved her duty as a contract staff in his bank.
However, following questions asked him by Igbere TV correspondent in Port Harcourt, Anthony who spoke through his lawyer accused his estranged wife of adultery.
Anthony said he discovered that his wife brings men whom she used to call her gym instructors and business partners, into their matrimonial home once he leaves for work.
He said he sent Blessing packing after she got pregnant for one of her lovers and in trying to abort the foetus she bled for weeks and was forced at the point of death to inform him (Anthony) by a text message which he said he still have.
Read his full address on the issue below;
“In recent days a certain Blessing Oko Ikpor has been posting videos and granting interviews on social media. In these interviews and postings she has been making outlandish claims about being married to Mr Anthony Ikpor and other false claims. She knows that her former husband Mr Anthony Ikpor will not want to join issues with her.
At this point however it has become necessary to say a few things on this matter for records and posterity to put matters straight:
1. The matter between Anthony and Blessing is purely a private matter and there wasn’t any need to be dragging Anthony’s employer into it if not for sinister purposes.
2. For the records Blessing and Anthony are no longer married and have gone their separate ways since February 2019. At this moment Blessing lives alone with their daughter while Anthony lives with their 3 sons. As a responsible father, Anthony still takes care of all the children, school, maintenance etc including the daughter living with Blessing.
3. Mr Ikpor has since ended the marriage by returning Blessing and her properties to her people in her ancestral home at Owerri. In Igboland that is the end of the marriage.
4. Blessing is a valueless and useless fellow that 2 years after she was returned to her people by her ex husband, nobody from her village has made any enquiry to the ex husband ‘s village in Afikpo as to ascertain why she was returned till date.
5. Mr Ikpor discovered that he was married to a serial adulteress who brings men into their matrimonial home once Tony leaves for work calling these men her gym instructors and business partners. She had no business except the babies clothing business Tony opened for her.
6. Matters got out hand when Blessing got pregnant for one of her lovers and in trying to abort the foetus she bled for weeks and was forced at the point of death to inform Anthony by a text message which he still has. After this Anthony was forced to send her packing.
7. Because Anthony couldn’t continue to live alone, he found a lady and decided to engage her and marry her after the divorce from Blessing. The introduction ceremony or ‘door knocking ‘ in Igboland was what Blessing sought to disrupt with fake policemen who later ran away. The ceremony was concluded without further hitches.
8. If Anthony was planning to wed on the day, why is there no wedding card?
9. Anthony has filed divorce from Blessing in Court which was slowed down by Corona virus. She refused to mention this and was shedding Crocodile tears and deceiving the public.
10. The marriage between Anthony and Blessing is dead and buried and can never be resuscitated.”
