Gospel singer Asu Ekiye said on Saturday that his wife Kunemofa Asu moved out of the house and began divorce proceedings without any quarrel between them.

The musician had announced the end of his 28-year marriage in a Facebook post on Thursday.

Inundated with requests about what transpired, he said in a fresh statement posted on Facebook that he did not initiate proceedings for the dissolution of the marriage.

“The decision regarding the dissolution of my marriage was not one I initiated. My wife expressed her desire to end the marriage, packed out of my house and subsequently instituted divorce proceedings without any quarrels,” he said.

“For about a year thereafter, I made every reasonable effort, and appealed to her in every way I could, hoping that we could reconsider and preserve the marriage. Unfortunately, those efforts did not yield the desired outcome, as she remained firm in her decision.”
