Veteran Nigerian comedian, Alibaba, has dismissed the rumor that his marriage to Mary Akpobome has hit the rocks. The legendary comedian, Atunyota Alleluya Akporobomerere, who got married to his wife in 2005, took to his social media to debunk the rumour.
In his reaction to the news of his marital crisis, the funny man posted a cozy picture with his wife, known as Mummy Mary, with the caption, “We have gotten calls and messages about the status of our marriage. We are still married and we thank everyone who sent messages and were concerned about the rumour which started because I was not home during Christmas and New Year celebrations.
“There was no need to explain to everyone that I was in isolation. And we thank God I pulled through. We appreciate your best wishes.”
According to the news making round, the humour merchant’s wife allegedly kicked him out of their home at Victoria Garden City over allegations of infidelity.
The allegation said that Alibaba’s wife hired a private investigator that helped her discover her husband’s affair with a London-based lover who had had a child for him.
The rumour accounted that Mrs. Alibaba was aware of her husband’s reckless extramarital affair but she chose to look the other way with the hope that the respite would come sometime soon.
The online claims revealed that the wife confided in some of her associates that she knew what was going on, and to catch her husband red-handed with another woman was almost unbearable and unforgivable.
Another had it that Alibaba had since relocated to his office somewhere in the highbrow part of the town after he was sent packing.
