The lady in the centre of the raging sex scandal in Anambra State, Chinaza Odeka, has blamed her daughter for the entire saga.
In the concluding part of her interview with Anambra-based compere, Comrade Umelechi, in her shop, Odeka said her daughter sent the video to her husband, who in turn sent it to their family WhatsApp group and other community groups from where it went viral.
Odeka said she made sure to delete the raunchy video after she had enjoyed it with her lover, but unfortunately, the video had been stored in another file on the phone.
She recalled that when the phone spoiled, she got another one and left the old phone with her daughter in the house.
She said the daughter repaired the phone and was using it during which she discovered the sex video she thought she had deleted.
Odeka, who hailed from Mbaise, in Imo State, expressed disappointment that instead of her daughter drawing her attention to it, she forwarded it to her father, who, in turn, put it on their family WhatsApp group to embarrass her.
Odeka, who operates a provision and food stuff store in Orie Uga market, said the raunchy video circulated widely in the community, leading to people casting funny glances at her in her shop.
She accused her husband of being mean to her and insinuated that he drove her into the arms of another man.
Odeka said she met the man seen in the viral sex video when her husband beat her to a stupor and threw her out of the home.
Since I got married to my ex-husband, I have never had rest in his house. It was beating, bullying and molestation all through. My brothers and sisters, and my children, including my daughter who shared the video with her father, are all aware of my sufferings under him as my husband.
“I had sons and daughters with him, and they all witnessed how I lived with their father, constantly in fear and sadness.
“He would always beat me up, throw me out to spend days outside my matrimonial home. Sometimes, when I ran to my father’s house, he would come there to molest me; if I ran to a friend’s house, he would come there to beat me up.
“Everybody who knew us together would attest that I never found peace in that marriage. One of those days when my husband threw me out of his house, it was this very man in question who took care of me.
“Everybody who knows me is aware that this newly found love is my joy and the love of my life. I never found in my husband the kind of love I find in this man”.
The interviewer suggested that she was careless not to have made sure that the video was deleted from her phone before passing it to her daughter.
To that, she said: “The truth is that I deleted the video from my phone, not knowing that it was still hidden in a separate file.
“I travelled to spend time with one of my daughters, who was recently put to bed. While travelling, I left the phone with another daughter staying with me, because the phone was broken and needed to be repaired. She repaired the phone in my absence and started using it.
“It was in the course of using the phone that she saw the video in one of the files.”
Odeka said, rather, her daughter was to blame for not even mentioning to her that she saw a sex video on the phone.
She said she never believed that her own daughter would see such a video and refused to inform her, but rather send it to her father.
“What has she gained now that everyone is mocking me?” she asked rhetorically.
She insisted her side dude, said to be a titled chief, is her helper.
“One of those torture days, when my ex-husband beat me until I was unconscious of my surroundings, it was this man who picked me up and took me to the hospital, where I was revived” she said.
