Tuokpe Onuwaje, the estranged wife of Reno Omokri, has accused him of domestic violence.
Tuokpe is the first wife of the former media aide to
ex-president Goodluck Jonathan. The couple have three children together.
During the weekend, Omokri shared a picture he took with his
second wife Hanna on social media.
The writer described Hanna, who is believed to be an
Ethiopian woman, as “a beauty queen who has devoted her life to God and to me”.
Omokri also praised her for being a woman who “does not know
how to quarrel and incapable of malice”.
“I want to praise my wife. I thought spoiling was over for
me, then I married my wife and got another mother, a pure met-at-home lover,”
he said.
“A woman who does not know how to quarrel. A being of pure
joy that radiates unconditional love. Totally devoid of materialism. The only
thing she puts before her husband is her God. Every other person, she has
queued behind me.”
Today, I want to praise my wife. She is a beauty queen who has devoted her life to God and, after Him, to me. My mother spoiled me. And I thought spoiling was over for me.

Reacting to Omokri’s remarks in an Instagram post on Sunday,
Tuokpe alleged that she “tolerated physical abuse” in their marriage.
She also accused him of assault that left her with “swollen
jaw, ruptured eardrums and weeks of pain”.
“No woman should ever
tolerate abuse in a marriage, regardless of how infrequent it might be,” she
wrote.
“We often make excuses like wanting to maintain a complete
family or staying for the sake of the children. But the truth is, your children
deserve better.
“After the first
instance of violence, which left me with a swollen jaw and weeks of pain, I
made excuses, thinking I must have provoked the anger. I even had to endure
seeing my daughter witness another slap.
“And there was the morning I woke up to find blood on my
pillow from a ruptured eardrum you caused. The final straw was when you
assaulted me again, leading me to involve the police.
“Now you claim to be happily married to a woman who doesn’t
“quarrel”. Good luck to her, because you always wanted someone you could
control and intimidate.”
In 2021, Omokri and his second wife welcomed a baby girl
named Ebele.
Omokri has yet to react to Tuokpe’s allegation as of the
time of this report.
