Austin Fanni, the former husband of Nollywood actress, Chacha Eke, has denied allegations of domestic violence levelled against him by the actress.
The actress recently took to social media to announce the end of their 9-year-old marriage, alleging instances of violence.
But speaking for the first time since their union hit the rock, Faani claimed he is not a violent person and as such, he can never raise his hand on any woman, not even his ex-wife, Eke.
“I am not a violent person. Personally, I detest violence in any form. I have never raised my hand on any woman in my life, including my wife,” he said.
The estranged couple got married in 2013. Their marriage produced four children, three girls and a boy.
In October 2020, Eke, in a now-deleted video on Instagram, announced that she was done with her marriage.
But a few days after the announcement, the actress made a U-turn and debunked the domestic violence claim in a video, stating that her husband has neither beat her nor ever raise his voice at her.
