Veteran Nollywood actor Obinna Nwafor popularly known as Saint Obi is in a divorce scandal with his estranged wife Lynda Saint-Nwafor now known as Lynda Amobi over an attempt to his life by the latter.
According to court documents made available online by E-Nigeria, Saint Obi initiated the divorce procedure, while his wife, Lynda Amobi, seems to be sabotaging the process as she has repeatedly failed to show up in court whenever the case was called up.
This attitude prompted the Judge, Justice Omotayo O. Majekodunmi, to issue a bench warrant for her arrest.
Ms Amobi, an MTN Nigeria executive, and actor Saint Obi tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in December 2006 in the former’s homeland of Anambra State. The couple is blessed with three children: two boys and a girl.
It was also revealed that the divorce was filed on the basis of an alleged attempt on the actor’s life, which was reportedly masterminded by his wife and her brothers, Michael Amobi and Chukwumobi Amobi, in a suit filed at the High Court of Ogun State with suit number HCT/128/2019 filed by Petitioner, Mr. Saint Obi.
Sources added that Ms. Lynda Amobi has allegedly “imprisoned” the children by hiring Mobile Police officers to protect them without the father’s consent and therefore preventing Saint Obi access to their children.
Nevertheless, Saint Obi, who took a break from movie industry years ago to pursue a different career, is no stranger to marital/divorce controversies, as the actor’s first marriage to the daughter of a Lagos pastor also shattered some years ago.
