Popular television host and media personality, Frank Edoho, has fired back at allegations of infidelity and financial irresponsibility levelled against him by his estranged wife, Sandra Onyenucheya, amid the messy online fallout trailing their failed marriage.
Speaking
on the controversy after Sandra publicly accused him of cheating, emotional
abuse and abandoning his responsibilities as a father, Edoho claimed that her
alleged relationship with singer, Chike, was one of the final straws that led
to the collapse of the marriage.
According
to him, he initially attempted to salvage the relationship for the sake of
their children despite allegedly discovering evidence of an affair between
Sandra and the singer.
“Since
December 2022 till January last year (2025), that news that came out is very
true. I approached that stupid guy because this is my second marriage. I asked
him if he knew who I was and he was shaking like a leaf. I asked him what he
was doing with my wife. He had a serious girlfriend he was engaged to,
Precious.
“I
told him that if my wife was stupid enough to cheat on her husband, why would
he encourage it? He said, ‘Is that what she told you?’ and I told him I have
the recordings of him talking to my wife. I told him I have two boys with this
woman and I want to raise them. Leave this woman alone and maybe, she will come
to her senses. I will overlook it and take one for my sons but they continued,”
he said.
Edoho
further alleged that Sandra actively encouraged the relationship with the
singer despite his efforts to preserve the marriage.
“In
the audio, she was the one encouraging the guy. I don’t know what I did to
deserve that. I sent her to school in 2010 and 2011 and I said she should do a
business. We settled for interior design, and I found her first carpenter for
her. I raised everything and studied interior design photography because of her
for four years.
“I was
doing all that for my wife until I raised her to the point that trouble
started. She felt she was big and started an affair with this guy,” he added.
The
veteran broadcaster also revealed that there was a period he walked away from
the marriage for about three months before Sandra persuaded him to return.
Speaking
further on the divorce proceedings, Edoho claimed Sandra initiated legal action
after discovering that he had moved on emotionally.
“There
was a point when she saw that I had moved on and she saw me with a beautiful
girl and she took me to court that she wants a divorce. It was just like anger.
“She
was asking me to pay her N4m every month for the children’s upkeep and I said
that it’s not happening. When I brought my evidence to court, the judge just
said please, you know there are children involved,” he said.
He
also stated that he will release evidences to back up his claims. He explained
that he had used a technology to secretly record her calls with Chike after she
promised to not return. In some of the audios which leaked online, Sandra
admitted that the divorce was not Edoho’s fault.
The
media personality also reacted briefly to claims made by his estranged wife
regarding allegations of infidelity and financial irresponsibility during their
marriage. Laughing off the claims, he said, “Indeed. And I left her two years
ago and she is still sponsoring. Don’t worry, let people have that
perspective.”
One X
user identified as Danny of Owerri stirred further conversations when he
pointed out that singer, Chike, had an affair with Edoho’s estranged wife.
“But
why would Chike sleep with Frank Edoho’s wife. Why? I use to see Chike as a
responsible guy,” the user wrote.
Reacting
to the outpouring of sympathy from fans, Edoho revealed that he and Sandra had
already been separated for almost two years before the current online uproar.
“I
truly appreciate the empathy. While I understand that the public is only just
becoming aware of this chapter, I have lived through it privately for quite
some time now(almost 2 years) and have since made peace with it emotionally,”
he stated.
Meanwhile,
social media users continued to dissect online activities involving Sandra and
Chike after both parties shared the same love themed song on Friday. The song,
titled, “You’re The Closest To Heaven,” by an Australian singer, sparked
speculation among fans who interpreted the posts as subtle messaging amid the
controversy.
Attention
also shifted to an earlier interview granted by Chike on The Unpack Podcast
hosted by NAY, where the singer spoke about his preference for older women in
relationships.
As
conversations intensified online, Sandra also took to her Instagram page on
Thursday, May 15, 2026, to share her side of the story in a lengthy post
titled, “Surviving A Bitch Ass Nigga, Frank Edoho.”
In the
post, she accused Edoho of infidelity, emotional abuse, neglect and financial
irresponsibility during their marriage.
“Choosing
to remain silent may give mixed signals to the narrative that a sadist and
narcissist peddles, making everyone believe he is a victim.
“Choosing
to marry a man, raising our beautiful kids, single handedly building and
growing a successful design business and giving myself wholly, undiluted and
faithful through and through!
“Until
you decided that while I am pregnant with our first child, you would rather
have a prolonged affair that lasted years with an actress, Mbong Amata amongst
other women.
“Where
do I even begin? The nights crying on the floor begging that you see me, with
you walking out and not returning for days!”
She
further alleged that Edoho discouraged her from keeping their second child and
accused him of abandoning his responsibilities as a father.
“Or
the days you tormented me to abort our second child because you were in
numerous relationships and not ready to be a father?!
“Throughout
the emotional, physiological, mental and physical torture and abuse, I stayed
committed, faithful, shielding you, carrying like egg. But you are a shell.
Washed up and dried out. You live for validation of the Internet. So enjoy your
10 seconds of pity party.
“A
dead beat! That is exactly what you are. I singlehandedly sponsored your lavish
lifestyle.
“I
singlehandedly paid all your bills, the trips, business class tickets, 5 star
hotels, luxury trips, all the home bills including that of the other children
from your previously failed marriage. I took your mum abroad to the United
States, and she lived in my parent’s home for years! I tried to cover you.
“Have
you ever paid school fees? Have you ever? All you did was abuse the financial
access you had to my funds. Squandering my money on prostitutes and loose
women.”
Sandra
also named and tagged several women she alleged Edoho was romantically involved
with during their marriage.
“So
many numerous transactions in Lekki hotels, air bnb, lounges and bars. Sold my
property without my permission for chicken change and still squandered the
earnings from it within one week! On different girls. Documented evidence dey!
Chai!
“Disappearing
for weeks on end! With loose women and whores like Adaeze Ugboaja at The
Hardrock Cafe, or is it Tega Dominic @its_tegadominic the BBNaija girl, or is
it Amaka Okeke @diaryofalionqueen, whom you claimed you were trying to get
endorsement and sponsorship for Who Wants To Be A Millionaire who you brought
into our home to sleep with on our matrimonial bed?
“Or is
it the smelling prostitutes whom you led into our home? Where I had to video
record you escorting her to the gate! Or is it the whore you had on your
Snapchat frolicking in her bikini snapping with your own phone while you were
there blowing kisses to her?”
Explaining
why she eventually walked away from the marriage, Sandra maintained that she
remained faithful throughout the relationship but eventually decided to
prioritise herself and her wellbeing.
“Where
do I start? Where do I begin?
“I was
a great wife, a faithful wife to the core.
“But a
time comes when a woman must choose herself. I chose myself and walked away,
filed for divorce too. As an adult woman, I am free to be friends with and date
whomever I please. Please, move on with your life. To family and friends who
have walked this journey with me and know the truth, thank you for your prayers
and support,” she added.
Meanwhile,
the women she called out debunked having any form of romantic relationship with
Edoho.
Debunking
the allegations, Okeke wrote on Instagram, “Over the past few hours, my name
has been wrongly linked to false and baseless allegations currently circulating
online.
For
clarity, Frank Edoho and I met in 2024 on strictly business related matters and
only became good friends in May 2025 when he was dealing with a personal matter
which I will not bring up here for privacy reasons. Any narrative beyond this
is completely untrue.
I am
deeply disappointed to see my name attached to narratives that are malicious,
baseless, and entirely inaccurate.
I
kindly ask that people refrain from spreading unverified claims that may harm
individuals, families, and reputations.
I
remain focused on my work and will not be engaging further on this matter. My
legal team have been informed accordingly and will take action in due course.
Thank you to everyone who has reached out with support.”
Tega
Dominic also posted a cryptic message on Instagram: “It’s all cap,” she wrote.
