Emeka Ike Moves To Stop Wife's Divorce In Court.

Nollywood actor, Emeka Ike has informed a Lagos Island Customary court that he had filed an application before a High court restraining  the lower court from hearing the divorce suit filed by his estranged wife, Emma Emma had some time in 2015 approached the court to dissolve the 16 years union between her and the Nollywood actor on ground of incessant battery.

The allegation which the actor had vehemently denied, and begged the court not to separate them, saying
" I still love my wife."

When the matter  which was slated for judgement came up on Tuesday, Emeka's lawyer, Mr Abdul Labi-Lawal informed the court that his client had filed a stay of proceedings before a High court in Lagos.

The application sought the High Court declaration that the Lagos Island Customary court lacked requisite jurisdiction to entertain and determine the Ike's divorce suit.

The application noted that the marriage between the estranged couple was conducted in Enugu state under Igbo customs and traditions.

Emeka also urged the High Court to declare that all the proceedings already conducted by the customary court in respect of couple's marriage be rendered null and void.

Opposing the application, Emma's lawyer, Mr Iheanyi Awa urged the court to discontinue the stay of the application and deliver judgement adding that Emeka's application is aimed at arresting the court's judgement.
