Popular Nollywood actress Ngozi Nwosu has opened up about a violent episode in her marriage, saying she once aimed a gun at her ex-husband during a heated confrontation at home. Her account was shared in a video interview posted on the YouTube channel Ayo Adesanya TV.
She Describes What Led to the Confrontation
In the interview, Nwosu explained that the clash began after her husband allegedly forced his way into their home and confronted her in the kitchen. She said the situation escalated rapidly and left her fearing for her safety.
Her Own Words (Quoted Exactly)
“My husband broke the door to meet me in the kitchen, and he came to attack me. He accused me of ignoring him, he dragged my clothes, and I became naked. I told him to wait for me to wear my clothes so that we could fight, but when I turned my back on him, he dragged my hair, and blood started coming out of my head. From that moment, I decided that the domestic violence was enough because I was afraid that he could kill me.
When I picked up the gun, I was ready to kill my husband that day, and I was ready to go to jail. I shot at him with the gun, but he dodged, and the bullet went through the door. I wished the bullet had caught him because I was very angry that day.”
