Ace Nigerian comedian and actor Okey Bakassi has dismissed rumours of a divorce, declaring that his marriage remains intact despite reports circulating online.
The entertainer reacted after an online publication alleged that his wife had relocated to the United States to study nursing while he remained in Nigeria, financially supporting her education for 15 years before she allegedly requested a separation.
Bakassi described the report as fake news in a video shared on his social media platforms.
He said the publication had caused unnecessary concern, prompting friends, relatives and fans from different parts of the world to contact him and his wife for clarification.
According to the actor, the report emerged while he was on set filming a new movie with colleagues.

He criticised the publication for using his name and photographs of him and his wife to spread what he described as false information about their relationship.
Bakassi insisted that he and his wife were still together, emphasising that his family remained a major priority.
He also disclosed that the couple had recently celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary.
The comedian’s response has generated discussion about the spread of unverified celebrity reports and the effect such claims can have on families.
He urged supporters not to believe the allegations, maintaining that there was no truth to the claim that his wife had left him.
The actor’s clarification serves as a direct response to the online speculation, with Bakassi seeking to reassure his loved ones and fans that his marriage remains intact.
