Nollywood actress, Lizzy Anjorin, has come out to deny the rumours that her husband, Lateef Lawal was previously married to four wives.
The movie star took to her Instagram page on Sunday, July 19, 2020, where she shared a lengthy post about the rumours filtering the air about her husband.
In her post, she claimed that the reason she decided to come out to speak about the rumours is because of her status in society..
“My husband doesn’t have the strength to keep 2 wives not to talk about six reasons to stay alone in an apartment. I state to counter all the lies surrounding my recent marriage to my lovely husband, Been a public figure, I should have to live by example as such be conscious, mindful and careful of what I do,” she wrote.
“But notwithstanding doesn’t mean I have to cowardly ignore ill statements being circulated on social media.”
“I have first and foremost been very good friend to my husband for a whole fourteen years, this means that I know all of his activities, whom and who he has dated and been with, which doesn’t define valid and legal marriage under the act.”
She went on to address the photos of the alleged wives of her husband that have surfaced on social media, insisting that it was a campaign by her detractors to ruin her name.
“Marrying my friend of over fourteen years means he is a good man and generous man, but the reason he did marry them legally is known to him alone*. The pictures been displayed on social media by these haters are people never known to my husband,” she wrote.
“I am aware of the provision of the law on bigamy, blacks law dictionary defines Bigamy as the act of marrying one person while legally married to another. The criminal code law of Lagos State Cap C17, 2004 section 370 provides for the punishment of the act.”
“All these myself and my legal husband are aware of, so if anyone knows nor think otherwise, such person should proceed to court to prove such or post her certificate here on social media to infect innocent followers with their height of frustration.”
Anjorin and her hubby, Lawal tied the knot during the week at a private wedding ceremony attended by close friends and relatives.
