Frank Edoho Is A Beast, He Batters Me At The Slightest Provocation- Wife Katherine Edoho.
I heard some time back someone insinuating this, but I brushed it off until I saw this interview. Frank Edoho, the host of ”Who wants to be a Millionaire” and his wife of 10yrs, Katherine, who is also a broadcaster with the NTA, are divorce bound.
This is an excerpt of the interview she had with the Encomium Magazine, props to Linda Ikeji for putting this up:
You courted each other for close to five years, did you notice any trace of swiftness to anger in him in those days?
Katherine “No. You could see snippets of temper then, but that’s where it ends. Do you think if I had seen this I would have entered? He is agenerous man but because he is generous does not mean he would beat everything he has given me?”
So, what actually caused this last beating?
“He said I wanted to run away with his kids. I told him I wanted to travel so that we could take a break a little. I told him I was traveling to Brazil because I didn’t want him to trace my whereabouts until after one week. Perhaps he would have enough time to calm down. I was expecting him to sit me down and ask “Why Brazil?” instead he started shouting, saying I want to take his kids from him. He got violently physical, he took my box from me. I travelled without anything. He trailed me to the airport to beg me and I said “Don’t come near me, you cannot be a mad man in the morning, and you are sane in the afternoon. He was coming close to me, I was moving back. He said why are you moving back? I said you are asking me? Do I know the next thing you would do here?” Then, I was bleeding, because he pushed me and I cut my leg somewhere. I was not supposed to travel with our son, because he was dragging him with me. I started crying, telling the cabin members not to leave me behind. So I was running and putting pressure on my leg and bleeding the more. When I came back, I told my younger brother “Please, the kind of beating they gave me before I travelled, I cannot take it two times. Help me to come and pack my belongings, just your presence alone…if you don’t come with me, I’ll take police to go and pack my things from the house because I need peace. For now, I cannot have it at home. When we reached home, my son said “Mummy, didnt daddy say you should not come back to the house?”
In the course of those beatings, have you ever retaliated physically?
“It’s instinctive, I grew up with boys. Somehow I’ll fight back or push, but you can’t compare a woman’s strenght to that of a man. The last beating was something else. I was busy dodging my eyes because Frank punched me as if he was fighting with his fellow man. For many days I couldn’t make use of my left eye. I wore glasses throughout my stay in Cameroun. I kept crying and shouting “my mummy o”. The headache? It was migrain times ten.”
Frank Edoho
Frank also said he doesn’t like you mingling with unmarried women, don’t you think he has a point?”
“Like what? I only have two unmarried friends. One is my brother’s fiancee, the other is Thelma, my colleague in NTA.”“Whats the reason he gives for not wanting Thelma by your side?”
“He says he doesn’t like her aura, and I tell him I don’t like your PA’s aura too. I dont evidence against his PA, but there is something about him that is not just right. I am perceptive. There is something about that guy that is not quite right.”But the bible says women should submit to their husbands. If you do away with these single women, dont you think there will be peace in your home?
“I just told you that the last time he beat me was because we were supposed to meet somewhere at a particular time. I was delayed somehow, so when I got to a place, I didn’t see him. He later called me and said “where are you” I said I was at home. He said, “Liar”. I told him I went for salsa that I had gone home. He didn’t believe me. Now, what has single girls got to do with that?. I don’t involve my friends in anything about my home. I’ve left home, I paid for a place I wouldn’t want disclosed. He sees the kids in their school.”
What do you think would serve as a solution to all these?
“He’s making a move for reconciliation (shows this reporter two different text messages from Frank) “I apologise for having slapped you, I really admit that what I did was beastly. But please come back, I’ve learnt my lesson”. My sister, it’s not coming back, it’s how do we stop that?”
Though I feel a bit disappointed…., infact I don’t know what to say
