The on-going separation battle between Tonto Dikeh and her ex-husband, Olakunle Churchill has taken a new turn.
A 15-second video was released online yesterday depicting the actress in the act of hitting the father of her son.

See the statement below…

On February 24, 2017, the Nollywood diva, 32, accused her husband of domestic violence. She alleged she suffered physical and verbal abuse in her two year marriage.
“It’s very simple having a husband who cheats on a roll and uses you for a punching bag and suffering gross verbal abuse,” she shared in an Instagram post.
She also said she got sexually transmitted diseases several times in the past from him and finally decided to walk away after it became too much (read here).

Tonto, with an acting career spanning 11 years known to both young and old is a person of interest. The media not only reported on her career but also her private life and most of what was covered was information that was made public.
The estranged pair share a son, King Andre together.
Hmmmmm when will the case end
I have a strong feeling Tonto is lying about everything that happened.
