She said she remained firmly behind her husband and had taken time to gather information before deciding to speak publicly.
“Odogwu Asaaba is my husband, and I stand with him 100%. I am not going to turn my back on him. How I feel, what I feel, and how I see this matter is my personal decision,” she said.
According to her, she decided to speak after learning more about the circumstances surrounding the case.
“Everything is not actually how they presented it. Before I could come out to talk, I learnt a lot about this matter.
“Social media is not a courtroom, and we do not do these things with emotions,” she stated.
Wife Denies Rape, Murder Allegations
Ogbonna’s wife acknowledged the death of Agbro but strongly rejected allegations that her husband raped or killed her.
“Yes, someone has died and that is why we are taking it easy. Someone has died and it is painful, but Odogwu Asaaba did not kill anybody. He did not rape Favour,” she said.
She further claimed that Ogbonna had an affair with Agbro but maintained that there was no rape.
“He only had an affair with the said girl. There is no way Odogwu Asaaba raped Favour. I know my husband. He didn’t. He can’t rape. He has never!” she said.
Case Remains Under Investigation
The comments come as public attention continues to focus on the circumstances surrounding Agbro’s death and the allegations against Ogbonna.
The allegations against the content creator remain unproven. The circumstances surrounding Agbro’s death and the claims against Ogbonna are expected to be determined through investigation and due legal process.
