In a surprising turn of events, Sonia Ighalo, the ex-wife of Nigerian footballer Odion Ighalo, has publicly requested that he arrange to reclaim the bride price he paid for their marriage.
This comes just 24 hours after she issued a public apology to her former spouse, calling him a “wonderful man.”
Sonia’s request stems from claims that her father solely financed their traditional wedding, and she expressed frustration over Ighalo’s family failing to attend, despite her preparations.
She also mentioned that this caused her unnecessary financial loss due to the elaborate plans she made, which were not honored by Ighalo’s relatives.
In her social media post, Sonia accused Ighalo’s brother of disrespecting her family by not showing up for the ceremony and quoted Ighalo’s own statement in Dubai, where he allegedly said his brother feared her father and refused to visit.
Sonia concluded by asking Ighalo to send representatives from his family to collect the bride price, citing Sir Clement Ighalo as the first point of contact.
This development follows ongoing tensions between the former couple, who have been exchanging words online for several days.
Sonia’s comments came after she addressed rumors surrounding Ighalo’s potential remarriage, which prompted a response from the footballer, urging her to leave him out of her public discussions.
The unfolding drama between Sonia and Odion Ighalo has caught the attention of fans and media, with many speculating about the next steps in their already complicated relationship.
