Nollywood actress Victoria Akande Ajibola, widely recognized by her screen name Omo Local, has publicly disclosed that she and her former best friend were simultaneously pregnant by her ex-husband. The revelation emerged during a recent interview on the YouTube channel Oyinmomo TV, marking her first detailed account of the events leading to her divorce.
According to Ajibola, her pregnancy was at five months when she discovered her closest friend was also expecting a child with her husband, then at three months gestation. She stated that the dual betrayal inflicted severe psychological distress, culminating in a suicide attempt. “I took poison because of the shame,” the actress said, describing the incident’s traumatic impact.
When questioned about her former friend’s current situation, Ajibola said she no longer had knowledge of her whereabouts. She added, however, that the former friend and her ex-husband subsequently had three children together following their separation.
This personal account from the actress, known for her roles in Yoruba-language cinema, highlights a complex and painful chapter in her private life. Her decision to speak publicly underscores the often-private turmoil that can accompany high-profile relationship breakdowns within the entertainment industry. The interview provides a rare, firsthand narrative from a Nigerian celebrity on issues of infidelity, mental health, and the aftermath of collapsed marriages. No further commentary from the involved parties has been made available.
