Actor Akin Olaiya’s new wife alleges domestic violence against him.

Nafisat, the newlywed spouse of Nigerian actor Akin Olaiya, has alleged that he subjected her to domestic violence.

She voiced the allegation and confirmed the dissolution of their marriage in a video that went viral on Wednesday.

According to DAILY POST, a statement from Olaiya announcing the divorce appeared online on Monday.

In the statement, Olaiya asserted that Nafisat had left their marital home without his knowledge and that all attempts to bring her back had failed.

In response, Nafisat said in a video referenced by DAILY POST on Wednesday that she had left the actor a few months into their marriage because of domestic violence and mistreatment.

“Last few months, I left my marriage because I’m in pain, I’m mistreated. I feel like I did not matter. And nobody is going to stay in a marital home that goes with violence. All the things that they’re talking on social media about the divorce letter, yeah for real, me and my husband are not together anymore for like a long time ago, since last year. For those of you saying how can the wife just pack and leave when she’s not mad? which When there’s violence and something is really going on that you don’t really know about, and I’m expecting a lot from my ex-husband when I was with him because he’s older than me. The age gap is much. Yet everything was going down, and I can never come out to disclose the main issues in my marriage with him. That is what I can never do on social media. But what I’m trying to let you know is that it does not make sense for him to say she just packed her things and left without any issues. It can’t be possible. You guys should just think about it and see if it makes sense.”

A video from the couple’s wedding ceremony in July 2025 attracted attention on social media after the bride appeared unhappy and unusually serious while Akin continued to dance.

Olaiya’s second marriage to Nafisat lasted less than five months, and his first marriage ended several years ago amid allegations of violence and infidelity.
