They are false, malicious and insensitive to the wife, children and entire family he left behind – Saint Obi’s family denies claims he suffered in his marriage to wife Lynda

The family of late Nollywood Actor, has reacted to claims made by movie maker Zik Zulu, suggesting that Lynda, the wife of the deceased actor Obinna Nwafor, mistreated him during their marriage. They described it as “false, malicious, and insensitive.”

Zik Zulu recently published an article in which he alleged that Obi’s marriage to Lynda was troubled, leading to his withdrawal from the movie industry. He further claimed that Obi faced challenges with his in-laws, who viewed him negatively due to his wife’s high-ranking position in a Telecommunication company.

The revelations shocked many Nigerians, resulting in criticism towards Lynda on social media. However, in a statement issued by Obi’s older sisters, Ugoeze Edith Chinyere Obichuku and Mrs. Freda Nwachukwu, the family distanced themselves from Zik Zulu’s claims. They denounced the allegations as false, malicious, and insensitive, stating that they do not align with their knowledge of Lynda’s character.

See the statement below;

RE: DEMISE OF SAINT OBI (MR. OBINNA NWAFOR)

Our attention has been drawn to the publication by one Mr. Zik Zulu Okafor concerning the death of our son, Mr. Obinna Nwafor, popularly known as Saint Obi, and the accompanying negative commentary in social and other media portraying his widow in an unfair and most defamatory manner. This is in no way, shape or form an accurate portrayal of the Lynda that we know and relate with.

The Nwafor family also views the said article by Mr. Okafor as sad and most unfortunate. It was neither written in consultation with any member of the family nor authored with our consent or authority. We totally disassociate ourselves from it.

The views and allegations contained therein are entirely the opinion of the writer. They are false, malicious and insensitive to the wife, children and entire family he left behind.

This is a mourning period for the family, and while we appreciate the condolences of friends, fans, and well-wishers, we ask that the family’s privacy be respected at this time.

The funeral rites will be communicated to the public in due course.

May the soul of our dearly beloved brother, son, father and husband, rest in perfect peace. Amen. Signed,

Ugoeze Edith Chinyere Obichuku Mrs. Freda Nwachukwu Eldest Sister (Texas, U.S.A) Elder Sister (Jos, Nigeria)
